My son is not getting better. venting

Since he started the school year he’s rarely been a full week because of illness. The year we spent in the van we stayed pretty healthy but now we’re at the doctors a few times a month 😥

This thing he’s got now is not going away with antibiotics and steroids. He’s been twice now for the same thing. I’m getting worried and might just take him to the ER at the children’s hospital. They always listen and are more intuitive. People that work at children’s hospitals are wonderful.

I feel like a crap Mom. But I also feel like I couldn’t be a good Mom no matter how hard I tried.

I'm sure you are aware that there is a rash of young children sick with various respiratory illnesses this year. It may be from the quarantining and isolation, kids didn't develop much of an immune system while that was going on and now they are suffering from having under developed immune systems.

Trust your gut. If you feel you need to get him additional attention, I would not hesitate to do so.

@SumKindaMunster Thank you. Yeah he was in kindergarten in 2020, then last year we were traveling, and this year my poor boy can’t catch a break. I’m usually catching everything from him too which is wearing me out. We had Covid, then the flu back to back. I still don’t feel the same 😆

My gut says I need to take my boy to professionals that deal with kids and will help him. We’re in Delaware, the land of nobody cares about anyone.
