Case Study Answer: Kreiyln had mentioned she took over the counter cold medicine, but it hasn’t been helping her. She probably doesn’t have a cold because antibiotics don’t work on colds due to their protective layer and she probably has something else which led the doctor to further investigate what it is because she said the medicine wasn’t helping. Another thing is that colds usually don't lead up to feelings of fatigue which could’ve also made the doctor guess it isn’t a cold.
