Suggest treatment for sinus infection
Patient: 16 year healthy male, diagnosed a week ago with a sinus infection, was running low grade temperature, put on antibotics, name uncertain. His behavior has changed dramatically. His speech is slurred. When asking him a question, his response is cat dog . He is sleepy, pale. He states, he feels as if he as amnesia, complains of extreme tiredness. He was taken to emergency room, all tests, drug screens were negative. He was not presenting symptoms at time he was being triaged. He appears fine at times, then has an episode described above. But he is again presently symptoms again tonight. He has been caught running naked inside/outside home. Tonight he stated, he murdered 2 people in a warehouse, that he is involved in a gang. He is a straight A student, polite, helpful, involved. Family very concerned. Doctor: Hello.  I just read through your question.It is very unlikely that these episodes are being caused by any treatment for a sinus infection.  Though his drug screen was negative, you mention that the symptoms began after the er visit.It seems that he is either taking a drug that cause psychosis, or having r psychotic episodes due to a real psychiatric illness. In either case he must be seen by a psychiatrist for treatment..
