Eve has a cold

This post is almost more for me than you - I want to keep track of Eve's cold. On Tuesday, August 5th, Eve started coughing. She had a cough and some congestion for over a week (but not a runny nose). On Thursday, 8/14, Dr. S had her start Albuterol inhaler and sent us for the chest Xray. He also started her on Miralax for constipation and Prevacid because the Zantac wasn't totally effective. We heard nothing about the xray, so I suppose it was clear. Friday (8/15) morning her nose started running. Ever since then it has been full blown cold. Total snot factory. Waking up in the middle of the night/early morning. Coughing. Loss of appetite (but still wants liquids). No fever. Fussy fussy fussy. I am taking her to the Dr. again this afternoon. I've been giving her a decongestant, but it really hasn't helped. I'm not sure what he can do - maybe she needs an antibiotic? Ug.
