ds 5.1 had glandular fever at 4.10, pretty badly by 4yo standards, and I think that must've given his immune system a good kicking. He's been on a multi-vite ever since, though most of the time he eats really well.
In the past 10 weeks, he's had bronchitis (antibiotics), an infected mosquito bite (more antibiotics), a urinary tract infection (antibiotics), a stonking chesty cold (bad enough to make dh need antibiotics, but which ds seemed to get through ok), and then ds's UTI came back (more antibiotics).
He is still not well. He won't drink the cranberry juice, he's got a horrible cough - whether it's new, or still the one from the last cold, I can't quite say. He's off his food (again), complaining of a big headache, says his feet hurt. Last night he was also running a low temp and complained of tummy pains but we never figured out why.
I'm assuming, since he's still on antibiotics for the 2nd UTI, that his chest can't have gone bacterial, though I guess a plain old cold is bad enough for them at this age.
It's a public holiday today. I'm thinking tomorrow I'll pick him up some Inner Health (probiotics) and go back to dr for most recent round of blood/urine test results, but am also thinking of going to a different GP who also does complementary medicine. Does that sound reasonable? What else would you do? Any suggestions that are not completely quackulous?
