After almost 6 months of being sick-free, Camden started with a cough several weeks ago and now over the past five days or so, it has worsened. We started back up his breathing treatments on Friday, but after a night filled with coughing as well as sounding croupy and having a low grade temperature, I called and made him an appointment for this afternoon. As we suspected, bilateral ear infections as well as what sounds like bronchitis. It seems every time he sounds croupy he also has an ear infection. He was started again on Augmentin and we were told to give him breathing treatments until his cough subsides. Luckily, no steroids since he was not wheezing when we took him. (Had his appointment been yesterday or Saturday, I have a feeling they would have prescribed steroids since he has been wheezing.) I pray that this resolves quickly so he can sleep better at night!
