He started with a fever on Friday 11/10. We took him to the doctor on Monday11/13, because it had been more than 3 days. He had a congested cough for over a week before the fever showed up. The dr. said that fevers show up at the beginning of an illness, so that is strange to him that it came after the cough. Also, he said that you don't catch 2 things at once. He put him on antibiotics, just in case.
Now it is Thursday, and he still has the fever. It will go down with Tylenol, and he feels and acts much better, but it keeps coming back. He also has not had much of an appetite since Friday. Not even for girl scout cookies or Halloween candy.
The only other symptoms are mild. He's not to specific, and they are not there all the time. He complains of a headache, and belly ache. The headache is probably just from lying around, and the belly is probably hungry.
We're off to the dr. again today, but I just wondered if anyone else had an opinion. Thanks!
