Suggest Treatment For Cough,ear Aches And Dizziness
Please help. It is 10 am and my daughters are having a hard time sleeping. My 6 year old has school tomorrow and she can t sleep cause she s in pain. She has been coughing up green mucus and now is crying and complaining of a bad ear ache. My 5 year old has fevers, really bad cough, and gets dizzy sometimes. I have taken them to the Dr a few days ago and they diagnosed my 6 year old with gas trophy of the stomach..I believe that s what they called it. Bad stomach aches and was throwing up a ton. So she didn t have these symptoms she is having now during dr visit. The Dr diagnosed my 5 year old with having allergies and prescribed a generic for claratin. Her cough isn t any better :( I need help! Need to find different doctor soon. -_-

HI.
Noted the history about both the daughters.
The elder one has a green expectoration with ear ache meaning there is an active infection. This is the reason she is having bad ear pain due to acute otitis media.
Crying will increase the pain. Please continue her medicines, she needs an antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antihistamine.
The younger 5 year old looks to have a stomach flu, but has also got the cough.
Viral being contagious must have caught each other. She too will need similar treatment.
Please give claritin to both and if you have any left over medicines from previous prescription you may please give them as discussed above.
