Turned out he had a double ear infection, and some hay fever issues.
He went on Amoxil, and our doctor had us start him on a spring Zyrtec Regimen.
Fast forward to April 30th. The ten-day amoxil regimen was complete.
This past Saturday, May 1st, we found out about the recall, and stopped the Zyrtec.
Starting Saturday night, he started coughing again, and waking up from the coughing, eyes watering again, plus the teething kicked it up a notch in a major way.
He's been up every night since.
Last night was the worst. Up at 9:00, up at 11:00, up at 1:30, and finally slept from 2-6 in between us in bed. To say we were tired this morning is an understatement.
So back to the doctor today.
Amoxil didn't touch the double ear infection. His lungs are clear. The coughing is from the hay fever, and from the drainage from his head and his ears.
She put him on a stronger medicine and told us to go get the generic Zyrtec since the real deal is pulled off all the shelves right now.
Things that don't make momma happy: the GENERIC prescription for the stronger antibiotic was $65.
After doctor, T went to work with me.
After work, we went and picked up the prescriptions.
After that, we went to get the allergy meds. from Publix since they were out of it at the pharmacy.
After that, we went home. FINALLY.
He's a champ. And if this is my 'Sweet T' miserable with a double ear infection, teething, and hay fever, we've got a good kid.
I'm wiped.
Going to bed now.
