Micah still sick...

[donna1990]

That is serious, my son's ear drum burst. He was young enough that it healed.

I hate when doctors give you the run around.; My daughter just went through this for Kassidy. She needed antibiotics and nobody would give them to her until they had proof that it was bacterial. A mother knows her own child! She finally found some ampicillin in the back of her fridge, and found a new doctor who immediately put her on antibiotics.

Poor Haley - I'm so sorry she has to go through this. He's just a baby and is not feeling well.

I'm praying for them both.

Haley I hope Micah is feeling better .. Let us know please.

Took him to the peditricians, and they gave him a total exam, she was asking me questions about my family history and my husbands concerning allergies? so i told her we both have allergies, and i also get sinus infections.
She told me that both ears are still swollen and the redness is from Micah scatching them, she told me his nose is slightly swollen and eyes alittle puffy, nose stuffed up, but not fever, she "thinks" he is starting to get allergies with a combination of his two year old molars coming in, is causing the ears to swell, she told me to put him on clairton, and rotate the tylenol and motrin for pain and swelling, and the clairton for three weeks, and if he is still messing with his ears to bring him back in a week, no ear infection so that was a relief,,
i don't know if i liked her answer or not... but Saturday night, Micah's nose finally broke and all that congestion was running out of his nose, it was gross, but maybe that was the problem,, like the peditrician said there is no way to test him for allergies until he is 4 years old...
So i think he is improving some, we will have to see what the clairton does, Mike will finally be home after this week - so if Micah is still messing with his ears, he's going right back to the doctors again!!! So keep Micah in your prayers, hopefullly this was the problem with his ears...
Thanks everyone....

I've used Clariton for years and always keep it in my purse. I also keep Children's Clariton at home and in my purse for the g-kids. It works wonders for most of us.

Sandy, i just hope this is the problem with Micah and he is on the road to recovery, he's been suffering long enough....

Unfortunately, if it's allergies, there will be more discomfort. But, it will be easier to deal with, knowing what's bothering him. My son (almost 34 year old, 6'2", 260#) who is and will always be my baby boy, has allergies and sinus problems that sometimes throw him into migraines, and there's nothing I can do except hurt for him.

Give Micah a hug from me!

Haley, I'm so sorry that Micah's still dealing with this. At least you found a dr. that told you what's going on with Micah. Hopefully he'll be feeling much better before too long. Give him a hug from me too!!!

I will Diana, but i just think there guessing at what is wrong with Micah, since he is to young to actually do any testing, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed...

Haley, So sorry he still not feeling well.. I guess claritin is like Dimeatapp was when my kids were little. I hear that it is no longer good for anyone some ingredient in there , I read it on a list of medicine ciruculating through the internet. But back then the doctor always told me to give that to my children when they were congested.

I hope you nip it now, and he is feeling much better soon. Poor little guy, while your giving him hugs give an extra one from me....

i sure will Gina,, he was a little congested this morning, i am thinking about getting him the vapor bath if he is old enough, my girlfriend just told me about it today... i'm going to see if rite aid has it tomorrow when i go for lunch... or i'll bring out his cool mist vaporizer tonight... i'll try anything .....

[donna1990]

i'm pulling out the cool mist vaporizer tonight, heck it might even help me too ..
i'l give him a hug for you too donna, what the heck i'll just sit with him all night and hug and kiss him and watch thomas the train all night.. how does that sound? Good to me .....

[gja1000]

He definitely needs the cool vaporizer. The vapor bath is also good. Does he do a shower (with you or dad)? You can also put the vapor thing in the bottom of the shower.

Hope he feels better soon. My two year old granddaughter has some allergies too - at least that is what they think. It can be frustrating
