Take him back and have him reevaluated! Tell the doc the medicine isn't working. It's possible he has a secondary infection like bronchitis. If that doc doesn't help you get a second opinion.

I'd say give extra vitamins. If this doesn't work, you'll have to see a doctor for antibiotics. You know that trese is no cure for a common flu...you can only treat the symtoms.

If you feel that the pediatrician that you are seeing is not giving adequate care - seek a second opinion. Even if he is your primary on your insurance, you can contact your insurance company and request a second opinion and they will cover it. It is important if you feel that something is wrong to ensure your child's health. Good luck.

talk to your doctor about a nebulizer... my daughter had RSV when she was 7 weeks old and they gave her a nebulizer... it's breathing treatments, they advised me that any time she gets sick with a cold give her breathing treatments the nebulizer helps to break up the cold... it's wonderful really
