Pediatric Offices

This is going to be a quick post, I just need to vent a little! So Brody starts getting this rash on his arms, one knee, and lower back (hip area), and starts running a little fever, and a cough on Friday. I get my mom to take him to the doctor because I was working. I even got the secretary at the doctor's office to make a list of everything for the doctor to check because I was not going, and I didn't want my mom to have to remember everything. I called my mom to see what she found out at the doctor, and she told me they checked the rash, it was eczema, and prescribed some hydrocortisone for that, and his ears had fluid on both of them, and his throat looked red....oh, and they cleaned his teeth???? Really, is that necessary to clean a sick chid's teeth? He goes in about a week for his 1 year old appointment, and that is when he gets the fluoride on his teeth, but they decided to do it that day. You know, because that is important when a child is sick to make sure they have clean teeth! No prescription for antibiotics, nope! Just for hydrocortisone to put on his eczema. So now, I have a fussy baby that want eat or drink much because his throat hurts, he want sleep because he can't stop coughing, and just doesn't feel good probably because of all of the above and the fluid that remains on his ears for 2+ weeks now!!! But hey, at least we have CLEAN TEETH!
