these rule our house here lately. i took mykah to the doctor because last night she was rolling on the floor, crying, saying her ear hurt. she's been pretty snotty & coughing for the last few days, so i thought i'd go ahead and take her in. i really debated this morning though because she was acting fine and not complaining about her ear. when i'd ask her, sometimes she'd say they hurt, sometimes she'd say they didn't. i decided to take her anyway since she's had the snotty nose & cough since friday. good thing i did. poor girl has strep & an ear infection! antibiotics for 10 days.
while there, the doctor listened to jaxton and it appeared as though he's still struggling with the double ear infection. he's been snotty too and coughed while we were with the doctor. he decided that we'd keep jaxton on the antibiotic that he's already on until he's done with the 10 days. he's on day 6. we'll see what happens.
*update : jaxton ended up screaming for 2 days. so i called back & got a new antibiotic. the third he's been on in just a few weeks. if this doesn't clear it up, we'll have to go to the ENT.
* update again : jaxton ended up with a horrible rash the day we started augmentin. i called and spoke with the nurse, who told me to hold off till morning and see how the rash does without the 2nd dose of antibiotic that day. later, the rash got worse, so i called again and ended up with an appointment late that evening. it ended up being a viral rash & we are continuing augmentin for 10 days to see how it goes.
