Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Thank you everyone for your reassurance, and encouragement. My son feels worse today, this is his 2nd day with a fever, and now he is throwing up. I've convince my hubby about not giving him any medication. I explained to him that antibiotics kill all life, good and bad, and that I wanted to give Nico, pro-biotics instead. I also told him that to heal he should eat oranges, peaches, bananas, instead of cooked food. I took him to his doctor, he dx him with the common cold, and stated that Nico sounds pretty clear in his lungs, there may be something there, to bring him back Saturday if he is not doing better. He gave me antibiotic prescription which I am not filling up, he suggested the tylenol to keep the fever down, the humidifier, and mucinex??. I didn't mention to him that I have not given him anything. He has not been coughing either for no cough supressant. I took his temp Tuesday morning it was 104, and Wednesday it was 103, when I took him to the doc it was 101.3...He may be doing better, he just feels worse, as he is vocalizing that he feels tired and his vomiting now. When I was at the doctors I just nodded my head and asked for an excuse for school which is the reason I took him there. School enforce this medication and doctors crap. I have him medically clear to go back to school Friday, that's of course if he is feeling up to it at that time. I'll let you know how he feels. The baby is doing great, he has not been affected, neither have I or his dad. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this remains the same. > > I decided not to send him to school, the dad insist that I should give > > him something to feel better!

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 I would not give him any food, especially oranges. They can be irritating to the stomach and he is already throwing up. Oranges also can produce mucus, as can bananas, and you don't want that, too. Peaches sounds good when he's ready. Other than that, it sounds as if it's running it's course and you're doing a good job nursing him through it. Poor thing. I'm sure he feels miserable. But you don't need a doctor for this. You're doing just fine.
