Tired of being sick and having to go to the dr!!

It started off with Anderson with his temp. going so high and having seizures. Then his changed into a cold along with my mom, myself, and now ralph(we all sat in the Er that night for 7 hrs so no wonder we're all so sick) we're miserable! Today we took Anderson back to the dr. because everytime we take him off the tylenol and motrin that he's now been on for a week straight nonstop his temp spikes back up. Last night it went back up to 103.3 so I called the dr first thing this morning and made another appointment for him to be checked. We got back really quick today thankfully and of course Anderson was acting like nothing was wrong. We had to see a different dr because his was off today, but she came in and checked his ears first thing after we told her about his fever coming back everytime we take him off the meds(like we were told to do when he wasn't running anymore fever) and she found that both of his ears are infected. I was so aggravated, I knew something was wrong and they woulnd't give him anything for his cold nothing.. so the drainage caused him to get a double ear infection which are his first. That baby has never had an ear infection and all the sudden he gets this horrible cold and now he has both ears infected ugh! Luckily though they're not bothering him at all. He hasn't shown any sign of them bothering him so I was shocked when she said they were infected. I was more concerned with his throat because last night he woke up and started coughing bad everytime he would cough he'd grab his throat and cry so I was afraid maybe it had turned to strep throat, but she checked and said it was just a little red(from drainage also), but he didn't have strep Thankfully! So she wrote him a perscription for augmentin that he will take twice a day for 10 days and then we have to go back in 3 weeks for him to be checked again to make sure they're cleared up. Hopefully they will be and we will all be better. My dr called me in a zpack so im slowly getting better too just aggravated because my cough is still so bad, and poor ralph is miserable b/c he keeps running a temp, but he goes to the dr monday so maybe they will give him something to take so he can feel better also.
