This video demonstrates a telehealth visit where the doctor helps Mike, who has shortness of breath and cough. The doctor guides Mike to check his pulse and breathing rate, noting they are normal. He observes some leg swelling but believes it's a viral infection causing bronchitis, not needing antibiotics or steroids. Instead, he suggests an over-the-counter cough syrup and advises consulting a pharmacist for suitable options considering any chronic conditions like diabetes. The doctor offers further support through phone or patient portal if symptoms worsen or persist.
