History:
1. Patient presents with a 3-day history of a persistent, productive cough.

Duration: 3 days.
Recent illness: Patient recently recovered from a mild common cold approximately 5 days ago.
Associated symptoms: Mild sore throat, fatigue, and occasional sneezing. No fever reported.
Current treatments and their effects: Patient has been taking over-the-counter cough suppressants with minimal relief. Increased fluid intake has helped with throat soreness.
Treatment planned for Issue 1: Prescribed amoxicillin 500mg three times daily for 7 days.
2. Patient reports intermittent lower back pain, exacerbated by prolonged sitting or standing.
Pain is a dull ache, sometimes sharp with movement. Severity is mild to moderate, rated 4/10 on average.
Duration: Approximately 2 weeks.
Recent events: Patient moved heavy furniture last week.
Associated symptoms: No radiation to legs, no numbness or tingling. Slight stiffness in the mornings.
Current treatments and their effects: Patient has been using paracetamol occasionally with some pain reduction. Applied heat packs which provide temporary relief.
Treatment planned for Issue 2: Advised rest, application of heat, and referred for physiotherapy assessment.
Past history:
Relevant past medical conditions: No significant past medical history. No known allergies.
Family history:
Relevant past family history: Mother has type 2 diabetes. Father had hypertension. No family history of respiratory conditions.

Lumbar spine showed full range of motion, no tenderness on palpation. Neurological examination of lower limbs unremarkable.
Negative findings mentioned on examination: No fever. No lymphadenopathy. No signs of respiratory distress.
- Vital signs listed: T 36.8°C, Sats 98% on air, HR 72 bpm, BP 120/80 mmHg, RR 16 breaths/min.

(For each section, only include if explicitly mentioned in transcript or context, else omit section entirely. Never come up with your own patient details, assessment, plan, interventions, evaluation, or next steps—use only the transcript, contextual notes, or clinical note as reference for all information. If any information related to a placeholder has not been explicitly mentioned, do not state that in the output; simply leave the relevant placeholder or section out entirely. Use as many lines, paragraphs, or bullet points as needed to capture all relevant information from the transcript.)
