Am I over Reacting Here

So on Monday I put in a request to have my peditrician call me about some concerns I had about 8 year old son in school. That was message I left. Wednesday no call back yet. I call office again. Per nurse Dr. said to schedule an appt and bring in son. My response, no I just want to have a 3-5 minute call with the dr. to figure out next steps if any. Nurse takes back this info reluctantly. Today same nurse calls and says Dr. said to make an appt. Really. I have been a patient at this practice for 8 years. This is the first...

Benadryl for a Two Year Old with Allergies, Please Help!

Good Morning Everyone. I have a question. I was just reading another post from a mom asking how to know if her baby had allergies or a cold. How to tell the difference between the two. Well my two and a half year old has allergies. Or what I think its allergies. Yesterday I called her doctors office and I explained to them the symptoms and they told me that they are allergies. So they told me to give her either Benadryl, Trim mic (not sure if I am spelling either of them right) or DimeTapp. Well in that other post one of the moms...

Advise on 7 Year Old Coughing at Night

HI everyone, I need some advice. My son goes to bed about 8pm. At some point almost every night (sometimes at midnight , sometimes 3am) he starts coughing….and coughing…and coughing. I will go check on him and have him get a drink of water, which does not help much, and then I will put some Vicks on his chest and tuck him back in. This is the only thing that has seemed to help with the coughing. He does not have a cold and I do run a humidifier in his room at night. Has anyone had this happen? And what can I do to help him so...
