Son Had Tonsils, Edema, Lot Of Mucus. On Antibiotic. Now Coughing, On Robitussin. Has Asthma, Allergies. Treatment?
My son had his tonsils out on Friday. The ent said he had edema around the nasal surgery site from may this year and a lot of mucus. She thought he was coming down with something. She put him on an antibiotic and told us to not let him cough and if he starts coughing to call her. He started coughing yesterday morning. I started Robitussin cough suppressant. It is helping some but not a lot. He is very congested. He is wheezing and sounds rattley. He has Asthma and severe environmental allergies. He already takes flovent and albuterol inhalers. I called the ENT today as directed and she is out of town until Thursday. It is storming here and I really don't want to take him out in it if I don't have to. Im running a humidifier and he is drinking plenty of fluids. He is still getting Ibuprofen and Tylenol every 3hrs for the pain and his temp is holding steady at 100.F Im worried with him not supposed to be coughing about the scabs around surgery site and also if all that congestion cant be coughed out it is just settling in his lungs. So I guess my question is, should I keep doing everything I have been doing as directed by the nurse or should we take him into the pediatrician or ER now?
