Question: Help 2 antibiotics and and 3 dr visits later my 2 yr old is still ill!.!?
Started over a week ago daughter rand a fever with a nasty cough that would wake a dead man from his sleep!. Went to dr and was put on amoxicillin!. Went back 3 days later because the cough was worse and she was not eating/sleeping well!. Was told the antibiotic wouldn't help that it was allergies!. Then we were give Zyrtec and breathing treatments!. Sill not better today went back and was given another antibiotic, and said she will be fine!. I am pissed!. ready to go to a whole different city for a new doctor!. My baby coughs so hard she is gasping for air! this is not normal!. So am I doing right by questioning these Dr's or should I just listen to them!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Is your daughter running a fever with the cough!? Any signs of nasal discharge such as yellow or green!? This would be a sign of a infection, not the common cold!. You may want to try taking her to a allergy specialist instead of a ped doctor if symptoms do not get better in the next 3 days!. When ever a child under 3 continues to show no sign of improvement, it's best to take measures, i!.e!. blood tests if all possible to find out if she has an infection other then the common cold or sinus problems!. If she is running a fever higher then 99!.8 take her to ER at once as that is a sign of a more serious complication!. Keep her off of all diary products as diary cause's more phylum in the lungs!.
