Back to the Doctor

So, I've been taking all this medicine for my ears and I don't seem to be getting much better. I don't really like to sit by myself on the floor, I cry a lot, my appetite is down a bit (and I LOVE to eat!!) and I just want to be held. Sunday Mom decided that the medicine should have made a bigger difference, so she took me back to the doctor. The doctor checked me out thoroughly. She even stuck this little light in my ear, so I gave her a bad look (furrowed brow!) and covered up my ear for the rest of the time she was in the room (this actually did happen and was rather cute!). She determined that the viral infection I have is going away - seems I have a rash of little red bumps all over my belly and that is the viral infection flushing out of my body. However, the bacterial infection in my ears is still not good. She gave mom new, stronger medicine which I have to take for the next 10 days. Hopefully this will help with the ear pain, congestion and coughing. Mom was relieved and hope this new stuff works better and I return to my normal, smiling self by the end of this week. Mom did get frustrated because after 5 days of having medicine put in my mouth I have learned the cues before it is all about to happen, so this morning I kept turning my head and tightening my lips. It took 5 tries, but Mom won and I took the icky stuff. Oh well!!
