Ear Infection & Breathing Treatments

I had to take Brandon to the pediatrician today. He had an ear infection a couple weeks ago and finished all the medicine from that...he was doing good for a couple days then the symptoms started coming back. He developed a cough that sounded awful, he wasn't eating normal, he wasn't sleeping through the night and naps were questionable, he was fussy/needy/irritable/etc. Late this morning he started wheezing so I took him to his doctor.

He has an ear infection in the other ear. She gave me a stronger dose of meds to give him and if he isn't at 100% when that is finished then I am supposed to take him back in. The worst part is that she listened to his breathing and noticed the wheezing. She tested his oxygen levels and sent us home with the equipment for breathing treatments. She gave him one treatment in office and I am to give him treatments at home every four hours. It's PITIFUL!!!



Hopefully he will be back to normal by the weekend!
