Cora has had a snotty nose and flemmy cough for over a month. Why didn't we take her in, you ask!!? Well - not going to lie - she's the second child. She's sleeping great. She's eating like normal. She's fairly happy (minus her whining and talking back that a normal 2 1/5 year old does!) We've just assumed it was a cold and she just couldn't fight it off... and if it's a cold - there's really nothing to give her to help.
But for some reason... this weekend, Ryan and I both looked at each other and said - 'We might want to take her to the doctor'. So I did this morning.
Dr. Beebe heard the things I said/we were experiencing with her... and then checked her out. Her nose was running (but not nearly as bad as this past weekend). She checked her eyes (like her bottom lids) - and said they were pretty 'gritty'... which is a symptom of allergies. We talked a little, then she suggested us trying a Children's Claritin for her at bedtime. So we'll try that and see what happens.
It's not a surprise, cuz both Ryan and I have seasonal allergies, and even Kayson gets itchy eyes from time to time.
We'll see how this goes!
