Sick and Tired of Viral Infections

Monday of Thanksgiving week was Cole's first trip to the doctor that wasn't for a well-baby check up. He had a runny nose for about a week and had run a fever on and off all weekend. Of course, the infection was viral so we just continued Triaminic and Ibuprofen as needed. The doctor said his fever would break and then it should go down and stay down. Of course this past Sunday, Cole started running fever again. This time it was 104.5. I was freaking out. After a dose of Ibuprofen, his fever broke, but we still took him back to the doctor and guess what....another viral infection. Are you serious? He is now 48 hours fever free. Here is a pic with Cole in his robe with his Be Koool patch. He looks like his just had a boxing match. I don't know if that patch really worked, but thirty minutes after the 104.5 temp (that we took rectally), we had a smile.
