We took Devon to the doctor today. He spent the entire night throwing up, and he wouldn't eat. I snuggled with him in bed the entire night and he would wake and fuss but refused to eat. I felt horrible for him, and he continued to throw up this morning, and now it's accompanied by some runny poop! Great.
He has the flu and he also has an ear infection in his right ear, and he has RSV, too. The green junk in his nose and throat and lungs.
So sad. No wonder why he was so miserable last night! Ear infections suck, and he can hardly breathe without whooping. He was prescribed an antibiotic, but we can't give it to him until he stops throwing up. I have been at class all day and DH has been at home with him. I've called a couple of times, and he's still throwing up. We may be bringing him to the ER at the Children's Hospital in Minneapolis later, if he doesn't settle down with the vomit. Doc says if he can't keep anything down for 4-6 hours, and we can't give him the antibiotic, better be safe than sorry and bring him in to avoid (or help with) dehydration.
Does anyone know anything about pneumonia or bronchitis? Can you still get pneumonia even after having the shot? Would they have known that it could turn into pneumonia by this point? I have never known anyone with it, really, and have no knowledge or experience with it. I know that Devon isn't really a newborn anymore, but he is still so young that this kind of stuff scares me.
How long is too long to be sick?
