sigh. Since I weaned my now 27 month old at 20months he has had tonsillitis after Tonslities. He seems to be sick every 4 weeks
He was never reslly sick before then. He takea his Vit D drops daily and has a very healthy diet home cooked meals with lota of veggies amd fresh fruits and healthy snacks. The child loves to eat raw Garlic and lemons!!!!!.
So he had Bacterial really bad case in July. Then in Oct he caught a nasty virus from playgroup and ended up with Tonsilitis 2 weeks later. Over Xmas spending time with his cousins all School age vaught everything he was sick for 3 weeks and ended up with Tonsilitis. Then after returning home a week later he got it again.
I took him to the Drs 3 times. The first time it was bacterial and they gave him antibiotics. 2nd time they said Viral nothing can be done. 3rd time even though Viral the Dr still prescribed penicillin and 9 days after finiahing the course of 10days it came back!!!! The Dr was very frank and seemed annoyed and said she can refer us to ENT and get them removed even though he hasnt had 6 resorted cases. We went to the Dra for 3 episodes only.
The NHS says they are meant to do a swab to find the cause. He is too young to have them removed and I want to investigate first. Just throwing antibiotics at us.
I used the Difflam oral spray and it seemed to help but a week later he is back at square one. Also 2 of his 2nd molars are cutting slowly! He is a trooper in the day, but at night time all hell breaks loose. Coughing, pain in his mouth so the last 3 nights After dinner right away I give him Neurofen - as Calpol didn't seem strong enough. And so the last 3 days he has complained about stomach Pain. We take it as directed with food. sigh. Now I am wondering if he is allergic or we are using it for too long. It is only 1 dose a day (5ml)
We did probiotics with and after antibiotics. So not sure whats causing this new symptoms.
P.s his stool and bowl movements have been normal and regular. No change.
I know I will probably have to go back to the Drs but fed up of it. They don't seem to have a clue and I want some investigations done and I want to have my sleep back to. He is up every hour recently. He complains of mouth pain, coughing and stomach pain all at the same time. It breaks my heart he is so sad and upset. I have no clue what to do.
