Sick 10 month old!!! What do I do?:(
posted 13th Nov
I know this is in the toddler section. My phone won't let me click infant.
But I brought my son to the doctor yesterday for a cold and they tested him for rsv but that came back good.. Well the doc gave him meds for a runny nose and cough.. I've only giving him 3 doses (he spits some out tho) but it seems like he's getting worse. He's cough his much more groggy sounding,he's blowing snot bubbles,his diarrhea hasn't calmed at all (but I've been giving him plenty if pedalyte) I just don't feel like this is just a chest cold? What do I do?

If it was me, I'd bring him to the dr again. When my son was a baby I brought him in for a cough. They told me it was a cold & he'd get better. I brought him back a few days later because he wan't getting any better. Turns out he had bronchitis.

Bring him in today? Or a day or two? My doctor seems to have a attitude and stuff when I come in /:

I'd give it another day or 2. If you still feel he's not getting any better then bring him in. My son's dr is the same way but you gotta be a pain if you want them to do anything

if he's drinking lots of pedalyte at his age that could cause loose poops so can any meds. If he's draining and coughing up gunck thats good too, it means its working its way out. Just finish out the antibiotics, if there is no fever he is fine (or will be) you don't have to bring him back in unless you feel he is struggling to breath.
