He had his teeth cleaned Monday at the Children's Medical Center. I called the cardiologist there and asked them if I should be worried or concerned. The nurse called me back acting like it was no big deal....but I don't think she contacted the cardiologist herself. <BR/><BR/>I am going to send a letter expressing how unhappy I was with the way this was handled and also asking if I should ever be worried in the future about things like this. I would think a fever hanging on that long...should be a concern....especially AFTER a teeth cleaning.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-14845202128079743932009-03-30T13:52:00.000-04:002009-03-30T13:52:00.000-04:00okay melinda, i've read the whole post, how is noa...okay melinda, i've read the whole post, how is noah today (monday)? In addition to the vicks on the chest you may want to put it on the bottom of his feet and then put socks on if he will tolerate it. he will stop coughing in 5 minutes and it does wonders for congestion. they do make a child's mucinex, it comes in granules and you can either put it in something like juice or pop or in food. just my two cents again. just trying to help. good for you to change family doctors, if you aren't getting what you want from your health care provider move on.........you have the right to 'interview' doctors. alot of people don't realize that (yes, i'm a nurse but i have compassion for my patients and after having a child with special needs....i feel your pain, i worked mainly with older patients/internal medicine)<BR/>i hope some of this helps. keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.<BR/>have a good day and update us when you can.<BR/>DanielleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-44660739020700649742009-03-30T13:31:00.000-04:002009-03-30T13:31:00.000-04:00hey melinda~i haven't read through the entire post...hey melinda~<BR/>i haven't read through the entire post yet, but didn't Noah go to the dentist recently? If he has a fever and has gone I'd get him checked out, if only for piece of mind.

It does work well! <BR/><BR/>He won't take the Mucinex...but I keep Vicks on him to keep the stuff loose and increase his liquid intake....that also helps break it down! :)Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598928046422992165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-67032160626974688172009-03-29T01:32:00.000-04:002009-03-29T01:32:00.000-04:00I hope Noah is o.k. and was seen by an ER doctor. ...I hope Noah is o.k. and was seen by an ER doctor. Please keep us posted on the little fella.<BR/>That doctors office sucks! I can't understand for the life of me why they would want to take a chance at Noah getting an infection? Why not just give him the Amox? Better to be safe than sorry. Sometimes those doctors and nurses have their heads so far up their butts it's unreal. <BR/>We will be praying for you and Noah, he must feel so bad being sick so many days, is he staying strong?KC's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700599624392874572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7121474.post-82787287719873977372009-03-28T22:57:00.000-04:002009-03-28T22:57:00.000-04:00I'm so sorry!

I sure hope Noah is better in the morning!<BR/><BR/>I hate to give advise, not knowing the whole situation, but have you tried alternating children's tylenol with children's motrin every 3 hours? It works very well at keeping a fever down. I got this info straight from my doctor, so it's safe.<BR/><BR/>And Mucinex with the expectorant in it works great for that chest congestion and I think they make it for children, too.<BR/><BR/>Hope he sleeps well tonight...you, too!Betsy Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807795605763246015noreply@blogger.com
