DS 2yrs old, sick
My little boy has had a bad cough since Monday evening. Plus fever and a leaky nose.
Went to the doc and he said there was no infection, but a lot of phlegm in the chest.
Prescribed adol for fever, butalin for cough and an antibiotic.
His fever isnt crazy high, so I have just been giving him adol when he gets v hot, which is just once a day before bedtime really.
He is on butalin 3 times a day... but i am not sure if its helping..
Havent started the antibiotic cos i cudnt see the point of it if he has no infection.
For some reason, mother;s instinct perhaps, i dont trust the doctor. Why I went to him, cos i dont know any others in this summer in doha. Besides, i have a major problem trusting doctors anyways thanks to how my little DD was treated during her illness.
Anyways, poor little DS is coughing and coughing and i can heard the heavy phelgm.
Should I start the antibiotics anyways?
Any comments? No nasty ones please, am not trying to harm my child. :)
Edited to add: Oh and fever has come down. He dint have adol today. He is a bit warm, but I am not v concerned abt the fever.
