tomorrow. I will have to call in the morning and leave work early. Which my boss isn't too flexible about but who else can take her?
She has allergies (not sure to what it is just that allergy/cold season) But she has had a dry cough since last Saturday (Nov. 5th). I am not a mom to run my kid to the doctor every sneeze or sniffle.
But after a week of just this ongoing cough with her trying to talk and just taking her breath away and her having gone with her dad this weekend, I took her to the doctor this past Friday. He said to up her Nasonex and Zyrtec which I did. Plus I had been giving her Robitussin started two times a day then I changed it to three times a day and no relief. Plus coughing where it wakes her up at night and she pukes. Then he thought it was sinus infection and put her on Amox twice a day x 14 days. I started that Friday but Doctor told me she should be feeling better by Monday.
Well she came home tonight and she was hacking just like she was the other day. I asked her if her dad gave her medicine and she said yes. I talked to her dad and he said she coughed all weekend.
So I will call the doctor again tomorrow. But the doctor also said he can't rule out Asthma. 2 of my nieces have it and 3-4 of his nieces and nephews have it. This is all I need. Acutally I am sorry this is all my DD needs.
Her father calls 2 hours after he drops her off and says -- maybe you should check to see if she has asthma. I said the doctor said he would and he says well dont' wait too long -- MAN -- dont' even go there.
Like I want my child sick!!! Nah I just thought I would let her stay sick another week.
GRRRRRR!!!!!!
