Ig's Ears

As good as my pediatricians are, sometimes they're in a rush. They've got a busy practice.

Today, I got one of the docs to slow down and read the file.

Ig, as it turns out, DOES have another ear infection. Dr. G listened to my reports about Ig's two weeks of low-grade fever and persistent cough (upper respiratory, thankfully). She flipped through his file and noted that we'd had a rough time pretty much since New Year's. Lots of coughing, fevers, plenty of ear infections. I'm not exaggerating when I tell you the kid was there every two weeks.

She prescribed a 10-day course of Omnicef, but recommended we keep him on for two full weeks if he's not completely symptom-free.

She also recommended that we see the ENT again, since he's had so many ear infections. Hopefully we won't need tubes again. Although, we all slept a lot better when he had them!
