Suggest Treatment For Viral Bronchitis And Ear Pain
Hi my 3year old grandson has already had viral bronchitis, also continuous colds that just don t seem to ever go completely away last week the doctor sent him for a chestxray and a test for the flu and rev because 2of the children in his moms day out tested positive for rev. Thankfully ours was neg. Tonight has had a cold all week this is after having these test and knowing a lot of sick children germs at the school. Now after his bath tonight he was complaining his right ear hurts. My poor baby what to do he has. Finally gone to bed with a dose of anvil . What to think?
It sounds like this started as a viral illness and possibly progressed to something bacterial in the ear. There is no definitive cure for the virus but is the ear is still painful, antibiotic can be prescribed. I recommend consulting with your pediatrician about this possibility.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
