AB James  is  an  11-year-old  boy  who  has  had  a  persistent  dry  cough  and  sore  throat  for  the  past  3  weeks.  Overall  he  feels  fine  but  just  cannot  seem  to  shake  this  nagging  cough.  He  has  had  three  separate  sore  throats  this  winter.  His  mother  is  a  bit  concerned  because  her  older  son  did  not  seem  to  get  as  many  colds  while  he  was  in  elementary  school.  She  takes  him  to  the  pediatrician  to  get  “checked  out.”  The  pediatrician  examines  the  young  boy  and  reassures  her  that  overall  he  is  healthy  and  doing  okay,  but  that  due  to  three  episodes  of  a  sore  throat,  he  recommends  that  James  get  a  tonsillectomy.
