Nibbles and Ear infections

This is the second double ear infection Nibbles has had in two months. And the fevers she has had, 104 degrees! Last month and this month. She had such a high fever Friday night that she had a seizure and hallucinations. They are called febrile seizures and commonly recur after appearing in your child.

Yesterday was her birthday party and she stayed somewhat well for the party, but immediately after got very fussy, vomited and ran a fever again. And the coughing. I haven't slept well in days and days. I don't know if we should take Nibbles to an allergist to determine what may be setting off the symptoms that cause these infections. An allergy test is painful, especially for a child Nibbles age.

The coughing never seems to end.

Poor Nibbles. It's rough taking care of a sick child, too. Happy Birthday, Nibbles!

I can recomend a naturapathic doctor that does EST allergy testing, that is what we did with our kids.It is painless and only takes about 20 minutes. I can give you their number tomorrow if you like, the office is five minutes from your house.

Sorry to hear that she has felt so bad. It's tough. Because of her age, they may be able to just run blood tests at this point. That's what the allergist did for Chan when he was that young.
