Antibiotics

We tried to get in to see the doctor yesterday, but our doc was out and one of the others had 2 ladies in labor, so they were pretty swamped at the practice. They offered to write an Rx over the phone, but I declined, so we were worked in this morning. DS's day care provider (DCP) had seen drainage from his ear, but we hadn't. DS hasn't had a fever, but his nasal congestion and cough haven't cleared up from the cold from 3 weeks ago, and the cough is worse and sounds rattley. The doc didn't see any specific signs of an ear infections (what DCP suspected) but her description, his fussiness, the cough, plus us noticing that DS isn't sleeping as well together point to an upper respiratory infection (URI).
