Have him immunised by your Paediatrician.  Taking antibiotics, if not needed will make him resistant to it.

jello, chicken broth soup and alot of water.. I hope you went to the doctor. and take all your antibiotics. strep throat is nothing to mess with. My fiance' pasted away 5 years ago from heart failure due to strep throat and he was healthy. just make sure you take all your antibiotics.

Make sure you're feeding him a healthy diet for one.  That's all you can do. Also remember to have doctor check ups.  It's not a horrible thing if your child is underweight.  I've been underweight my entire life and I'm healthy.  Talk to your doctor if your very concerned to make sure it's nothing however.  Keep them active and off the couch and they should grow up to normal.

It's just your immune system. Your sister is with the little one all the time so has built up an immunity (and pregnancy builds up immunity and that seems to stay). I would recomend you eat loads more fruit and bag and get loads of vitamins down you, this will help. Also, 9 year olds are always getting colds and stuff because of the mingling at school. \nI always seem to be getting everything that goes round at work but my desk is right next to the air conditioner and we have no opening windows int he building so i get the full whack of the recycled germs.

A fever is the body's way of fighting off infection. You can use meds to get it to "go away" but if she is fighting something off it is not necessarily a bad thing unless it is too high.  My son did the same thing a few months ago but his fevers persisted at a much higher temp, think he had roseola.  If it is a virus, it will just have to run it's course.  Anibiotics are not effective against viruses, just bacterial infections.  At her age, fever is usually considered to be 103 or higher (it is lower for younger babies).\n\nAll those that are telling you to go to the E.R. and/or to get another anitibiotic are a little over the top.  99-101 is only a low grade temp.  GEEZ people!!! Don't stress this mom out!

N- acetylcysteine is an very strong anti-viral. I am not a doctor but I would imagine it can't be harmful in small doses. Try a 500mg capsule just once a day, or less. It is basically just a precursor to glutathione. So if he gets too much I imagine he will just poop a lot. I would also recommend trying the probiotic route. That is another strong immune booster. Anything but antibiotics has been my experience. \n\nHowever, I do want to encourage you to check with a holistic practitioner in your area. They will know of more possible dangers and side effects that I may not be aware of.

Before you go and do drastic things, like meds you are right to look at his food.  Soy can be an allergen to many people.  As well so are fruits such as strawberries and oranges, citrus'.  Obviously it's an allergy or sensitivity.  Some docs only consider the word allergy for those who go into anaphalactic(spelling?) shock and run the risk of respitory failure, ie...bee sting/stop breathing.  \nNevertheless, ignore that kind of medical rhetoric because your son is obviously allergic regardless of how severe the reaction is.  There are allergy tests he can go through if you find a doctor who takes you seriously.  Have him tested, although it can be traumatic because albeit not very paintful, they prick you with a bunch of tiny little needles with different allergens on them to see how you react.  Usually on your back or inside of your forearm.  I've had it and many people I know have...it really clued them into what was bugging them! \nOr first: Try the most simple diet you can, limit him down to mashed up rice and chicken or rice and one veggie like squash if you prefer and of course rice cereal for breakfast.  Make sure it's pure brown or white rice(brown has more nutrients). Clean out his system by calming it down for a day or two.  It's called an elimination diet in nutrition terms.  People do it all the time to figure out what allergies/sensitivities they have.  \nThen pick very basic mild foods like bananas, pears, squash, peas, spinach, carrots, chicken/turkey and rice. No citrus fruits for awhile.  No honey either(not pasturized and can be risky). Introduce one food at a time to him and allow him to get used to it before introducing another food. Try one per 2 days.  Wait for a reaction or none and then move on.  That way if he has a reaction, you will know which food it is.  \nThen another and another until you know which foods he reacts to etc...When he reacts you will know he has a problem with it and you can eliminate it for good and put it in his medical records.  Some foods might take a day to move through the digestion system and therefore two days is necessary to really see if they bother him. If he reacts to just rice and chicken/veggie, then it might be one of them. Try again. It's just a process that one must go through to gain control over their allergies. Hang in there!\nFoods people are most allergic to are: wheat, dairy, soy, citrus fruits + strawberries, nuts, corn, and some meat. Also food additives like MSG and gluten and food dyes can cause serious reactions like migraines and hyperactivity.  There are many others but those are very common ones.  \nDon't negate what he is experiencing because a doctor does. Not that you are. They do not know everything, and you are the mom...and that means beyond caring well for your son you have good instincts.  Trust them!!  You are doing the right thing by continuing to pursue this beyond what the doc didn't do for you.  And by the way, psorisis and eczema both are aggravated by food allergies and stomach digestion or lack thereof. \nBut keep on it because allergies can wreck your whole system if they are not remedied. \nGood luck!

Last year my son developed a very rare disease, that typically affects toddler age Asian boys ( my white son was 8) it was very uncommon, and we kept going and going to the DR, as more symptoms finally kept coming up,one DR finally thought he recognized it, but my son was forming it atypically, we kept going back, FINALLY diagnosed it!   3 weeks of being horribly ill 104 fever constant for 3 weeks! and 4 days in the hospital, and 6 months of follow up with a cardiologist. My point is KEEP taking her, they will find something, it could be a very rare thing! They brought ALL the personnel in the room to look at my son because NONE had ever seem this disease!!!

I'm not sure you have a cold.  My daughter started out the same way and has been ill for the past 4 weeks.  The doctor told her she has a bacterial infection and put her on antibiotics.  She has been awfully weak, like you, had coughing spells, then she came down with the sniffles and ear infection.  I suggest you see a doctor and have him prescribe the proper medication.  You may need to give a blood sample to determine if it is a cold or an infection.  In either case, I hope you see a professional and get the help you need.  Get well soon!!!!

I really hope that you are not serious. Go back to the doc and have him place your son on a generic antibiotic much cheaper.

Try to get him/her in a LUKEWARM bath {just barly warm} let him/her play in it as long as he/she wants to.   Also keep plenty of water based liquids going in to keep from dehydration. Try to keep your child comfy so as not to be too excited or crying too much. Once my son had a bad fever and I didn't have any med. and he had been going to Church and they taught him a scripture and he repeated it over and over about 3 or 4 times and his fever went away....he said."Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world".....from the BIBLE.

Staph on the skin can lead to red, fluid-oozing sores, itching and general redness. But once Staph has entered the body, it can lead to harmfull illness like bone problems, and even pneumonia. I would ABSOLUTELY not let your brother hold your little one (anyone under the age of 5) unless he has THOROUGHLY washed his hands. Depening on how severe the outbreak, I would even go so far as to recommend gloves and perhaps a mask. Don't take any chances with your precious angel, Staph is hard for the little ones to kick. Good luck!

When my daughter had it at 3 months she was put on a med (not sure, but I think it was a form of penicillin).  It only took a couple of days to clear up once she got on the med.  They told me to throw away all the nipples from the bottles and make sure everything that went into her mouth was sterile.  I know it's hard to keep things out of an infants mouth, but try your best to not let your child put anything in their mouth until it is totally gone.  Get in to see your ped as soon as possible, as it will get worse if that is what it is and not treated.  If it gets worse, I guarantee alot of sleepless nights!!!  Good luck to both you and your child.

Wow I don't know if I should tell you this... Get her on nutritional supplements as soon as possible. My sister's boy was the same way... he won't eat anything until he is ready to pass out from hunger and he is really not well behaved. He gets violent at the drop of a hat. He has no control over his anger whatsoever, he will most likely be kicked out of school this year (he is ten now) for bashing his classmate over the head with a heavy object, he has to take anti-psychotic medication just to act (somewhat) normal. He is a bright and funny kid, he just can't control himself at all. You should seek professional help, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck.

when my daughter was 7 months old she had an ear infection.I had her to the doctor two times still didn't cure it.I used granny's home remedies again. a fresh clove of garlic diced very small put in a jar and cover with olive oil let set over night,shake the jar twice the next day.Then strain and put the oil in a covered container and keep in the fridge.I gave my daughter 1/4 teas. every 4 hours and warmed some and dropped into her ear.After 1 day of this the next morning she coughed up quite a bit of flem from her lungs.She stopped pulling at her ear that same day.! Also if you know a smoker.have someone gently blow(puff) cigarette smoke in her ear and cover immediately with a warm towel I don't know how that cures it but I have seen it done many many times! Instant cure!

It is estimated that children actually encounter and develop immunity to approximately 100 different viruses each year, most of which are subclinical.  Depending on your child's constitution, they may exhibit some minor symptoms such as you describe.  Then a few times a year, they may really get sick with one or more of the new viruses.  \n\nBTW, the number of viruses that adult encounter/develop immunity to is not much less than children.
