Hi,
I am a worried mom. My son, who is BTW very tall for his age, went from 49lbs to 46.5 lbs in 4 and half weeks. Here is what he had a sinus and ear infection. He had to take Omnicef 125mg for 20 days. Around day # 13, he caught a virus( fever, cough, congestion). He had a fever for 6 consecutive days. It started by 102.3 and gradually decreased every day. Now we jus t finished the antiobitic. His infections are all gone and all of the virus symptoms have cleared up. Is it normal for him to still sleep a little more then usual and to still not have his appetite 100% back?? This is his first year going to a daycare full time therefore he got more then exposed to differents germs. He looks terrible because he grew in the middle of all of this mess so that makes him look even thinner.
If anyone has been through this, I would feel reassured!!!
I love being a mom but I hate the stress part!!!
Thanks,
Leila

First off if a child is not eating or is vomiting up what they eat they will lose weight. My son dropped two pounds in 3 days{he was 9 months old} because he was not able to keep anything down. Your son is in daycare expect more of this those little guys share every bug with everyone. When your son is completely better {no virus not just visual symptoms} he will get back to normal. Ever heard the saying you heal when you sleep? If youa re so concerned take him back to the dr and have him checked.

You really should better see a doctor, who knows what it is, and it really doesn't sounds good.
