Default so you think you could be an MD?

always see people posting various ailments, illnesses, and diseases they think they might have. here are a few clinical case scenarios for you medical detectives out there.

1 - A 4-year-old boy presents with a five-day history of fever and rash. He has received acetaminophen and amoxicillin without improvement. He is very irritable with a temperature of 103.6 F, bilateral non-purulent conjunctivitis, enlarged cervical nodes, puffy hands, and a maculopapular rash. How would you evaluate and manage this patient?

2 - An eight-year-old female presents with abdominal pain, pruritic lesions on the buttocks and lower extremities, and joint swelling. What is your differential diagnosis? How would you evaluate this patient?

3 - A six-year-old boy presents with pallor and irritability following a week of abdominal pain and blood tinged diarrheal stools. What would you be most concerned about? How would you evaluate and manage this patient?
