While I love fall and winter, I don't love all the colds and coughs that come along with them. We've all been battling a runny rose for a few days, but Karsten's just developed into a nasty cough. Last night he was coughing and it was teetering dangerously near the horrible croupy cough sound. If your little ones have had croup, you know the sound well. After a stint in the steamy bathroom and another outside in the cool night air to calm his lungs, I decided a call to the doctor was probably warranted. The nurse recommended watching him throughout the day to see how his cough did.
Of course he didn't cough much throughout the day; however, he coughed quite a bit at naptime. The doctor fit us in for a an appointment late in the day and after hearing his symptoms and listening to him, the doctor prescribed a steriod to get the cough under control.
Since he was such a good boy at the doctor, we got to stop and have ice cream on the way home - so what if it was dinnertime. :)
