So Kiersten has had a cough for a very long time. Almost 3 weeks. I finally broke down and took her to the doctor after she couldn't sleep last night cause she was choking and coughing on a post nasal drip. She also had a fever through the night. We were up almost every hour through out last night...
so we got to the doctor. She didn't have a temp anymore...but her lungs still sounded cruddy for the doctor to hear and she also was coughing a lot and had her runny nose. So the doctor thinks that she may have allergies. Dr Westcott said that most likely she was just getting sick then the smoke in the air over the last week up here caused her allergies to pipe up as well. then on top of that with all the drainage from her nasal area she thinks that caused her to start getting an ear infection... She said it was borderline on treatment but she treated it anyway because she thought Kiersten looked miserable!!
So all in all Kiersten was high maintenance this doctor visit. She got 4 prescriptions:
Antibiotics for her ears,
numbing drops for her ears,
singulair an allergy medication
and albuterol breathing treatments
and a breathing treatment machine!!
Hopefully she will be feeling better soon!!
