Stop Users from Repeating the Same Symptom/Diagnosis in an Encounter

[AdityaJ2305]

Description

Currently, users can add the same symptom or diagnosis multiple times within a single encounter. This leads to redundancy and potential confusion in medical records. We need to implement a validation mechanism to prevent duplicate entries.

Expected Behavior

• The system should detect and prevent duplicate symptoms or diagnoses in an encounter.
