Mason went to the pediatrician again today, which, by the way, out of all the ones I've seen so far, I like this one the best. She's way more thorough than the others. On top of her game, you might say. At least, that's what I think for now. I'm a new mom--and a women--so I have the right to change my mind at any time.
Anyway. Over the past week, Mason's been refusing the bottle. Thinking his reflux medication might need to be adjusted again, I called to make an appointment. The doctor wanted him to come in for a weight check to make sure he was still gaining, which he his is (14 lbs 20 oz!). I'm glad I had to take him in, though, and not just talk to the doctor over the phone because all this time I've been saying something is not quite right. That he shouldn't be as congested as he is. That he shouldn't be coughing like he is. If I actually brought him in, then maybe they'd believe me.
Come to find out, he has a cold and an ear infection. He was just seen two weeks ago and the doctor he saw (I refer to her as "Uh-huh" because she doesn't really say anything but "Uh-huh, Uh-huh") didn't catch any of this. Granted, he may not have had the ear infection then, but he did have the cough.
So now he's on Amoxycillan. Hopefully this is why he's eating so poorly. He's already taking half a Prevacid for the reflux. He's only four months old... I don't really like that he's even taking that much. But, we've got to do what we've got to do to until he outgrows the reflux. A day that won't come soon enough in my opinion.
