I have had to go to the doctor 3 times since September. I have had an upper respiratory infection, a sinus infection, and a stomach bug. My aunt just had strepped throat and my mom thinks she is getting the flu. It's no telling what he has. It's so much stuff going around! I'm getting tired of getting sick all the time myself. Try Mucinex or some Advil Sinus/Cold they are really good! But other than that I hope he has been to the doctor.

A fever in any age yet somewhat that youthful shouldn't final longer than 3 days. additionally you could consistently provide him the tylenol each 4 hrs to maintain the fever away. He feels greater helpful because of the Tylenol than feels crummy returned because of the fact there is not any drugs on board and the fever creeps back. Take him to the Dr asap.

Please take your child back to the doctor and get her checked out again. It's possible she is simply going through one of those years in which she catches every bug that comes her way (a lot of my friends with kids about her age have had months like that!). But if you are convinced something serious is wrong, don't take no for an answer from your doc! Good luck and hang in there!

I know your little girl can't have allergies, because you never get a fever with them. My friend at school recently went through a sick spell like that, and she has Mono. I don't know much about it, but I do know that it can be very hard to get rid of, so I would definately take her back to the doctor and see what she says. Good Luck!

Have you had your child checked by a pediatrician? I would assume the answer is yes. Have you had your child tested for allergies? If not that would be your next step. Allergies and sinus issues can play a big role in all of those symptoms. I know, my son has allergies and asthma. The changes in weather and in seasons can really aggrevate allergies.

I would definitely take my child to a doctor because you don't want your child to end up with pneumonia
