On month ago, my teenager had a viral infection with high fever and runny nose. The pediatrician said the strep test was negative and told us to come back in 5 days if my son was not better. 4 days later, on a Sunday, we went to a Patient First because my son had thick mucus in his nose as well as pink eye in both eyes. The doctor at PF also diagnosed him with an ear infection. He gave us medication. My teenager started to feel better, but as soon as the medication was finished, he had a set back. We went back to his regular pediatrician and learned he still had an ear infection for which he was given a zpack. 10 days later, he was 100% better, but swollen tonsils remain from the original illness almost 5 weeks ago causing discomfort (but nor soreness).
