Emergentcare Visit

Yesterday Kylie was running a slight fever all day and was complaining that her throat and her ear were bothering her, which is unusual as Kylie rarely complains about anything. So Mommy kept an eye on her and gave her some children’s Tylenol to help reduce the fever and provide some relief to her pain. For the most part for the rest of the day Kylie seemed to be fine considering how she was feeling; she was cuddly and laid back for the day which is normal when she is not feeling well. What was not normal, however, was that Kylie did not want to eat anything for dinner and said she wanted to go to bed at 7pm! So this morning when Mommy got up she called to see if the doctor’s office was open, but due to the holiday they weren’t, so off to the emergent care they went. The doctor at the emergent care examined Kylie and said she has a bad case of strep and suggested that we take her to a ear nose and throat specialist to see about having her tonsils and adenoids removed. Mommy and Daddy have both had their tonsils removed so we are not surprised that it might be recommended for Kylie as well, however we will speak with Kylie’s normal doctor in the next day or so and see what they recommend. They did provide her with some antibiotics to start her along the path to feeling better though.
