My 10 Month Old Is on His Fourth Round of antibiotics...Is This Normal???

My 10 month old son is on his fourth round of antibiotics for a persistent antibiotic resistant ear infection. This has been going on for 6 weeks and he is in a lot of pain and totally miserable. I finally demanded a referral to an Ear Nose & Throat Dr. They gave me one, but didn't state that this is urgent so we can't be seen for a month. I am starting to worry about my sons hearing and other long term effects of the ear infection and being on meds. for so long (the antibiotics have given him horrible thrush and diarrhea too). Does it...

Allergic to the Dog?

My 18-month old has a pretty-much contiuously runny nose. It usually combined with nasal congestion.

Your Opinions on Singulair

I have a 5 yr old daughter who gets a wicked cough a few times a year. This past trip to the ped he suggested we start her on 4 mg of Singulair. My husband is asthmatic and the ped feels that there is a possibility that she may be diagnosed later in life with asthma. She is considered at risk because she has had upper respiratory issues a few times this past winter. My question is that I've heard both good and bad about this medication and I am just concerned. Most of the issues involve behavioral outbursts and children becoming more...
