So he had a cough that began Sunday 6 days ago. It was worse by Monday so I made him an appt with his Pediatrician for Tuesday after school. He had no fever or other symptoms but the cough was wet and deep...he has been on singular for asthma before and I wasn't sure that wasn't what it was but with rsv and tore chest stuff going around I didn't play around...
Tuesday Bryan took him for his appt and called me when leaving, they were sending him to hospital for chest X-rays. They wondered if it wasn't phenomia and began him on prednisolone and albuteral.
Wednesday I called the doc, I found out lungs were clear and neg for phenomia. We were told more than likely asthma, could be bronchitis (as the doc said that is no more than a cough).
Friday I called back to the office as hi cough sounded no better. They said it could take up to 3 weeks to sound better but with no fever still to continue treatment for asthma.
This morning. Saturday, I got up and Isaac was still asleep...at 8am!!!!!! Isaac is normally up at 6 or 7, and his cheeks were red...he had a 101.4 fever! I gave him tylonal and called the doc on call. We were told to go back to er for another chest X-ray, this was neg as well. Flu test was done...neg. Ears, throat, everything looked normal. They gave him a zpac and sent us back home. We were told could be bronchitis worse or could be asthma and virus. Basically no one knows.
To a "normal" mom, so what 101 fever and cough...but just 4 years ago in March my dad was diagnosed with phenomia and tested neg for flu (h1n1) on a Saturday and was icu for 10 weeks by Wednesday...of course that's when they diagnosed him with h1n1.
Praying and following treatment, hoping it is nothing more...of course still worried...
