Yes, but cold meds only treat symptoms. Why is he staying so sick?

Because none of the other kids are getting Triaminic either and they’re wiping their snot all over the place.

I don’t care, when I can’t breath, I want something that alleviates the symptom and when I’m in pain, I want something that alleviates the pain even if it doesn’t cure me.

Ear infections run in our family. When the eustachian tube fills up with mucus, the ear gets infected. Keeping the eustachian tube clear is important. My guess is that the ear infection never completely clears and he just catches everything that is going around at school/day care.

That’s why treating the symptoms is sometimes very important. On top of it all, the child is very difficult, extremely intelligent and manipulative. He started reading at the same time he started talking.
