havenīt read fully all posts... but I have a similar case with mine.. just that mine was always on the "flu".. he was always prescribed antibiotics and cough meds and antiinflamatory meds... he has always had huge tonsils (and whatnot)... so now Iīve learned that unless he has a fever or they are red heīs fine.... his tonsils almost obstruct his airway and when "sick" they practically block it (never had a problem with breathing but still a concern)

then with another dc... he diagnosed sinus.. and he went on a 30 day treatment and got a rest from illness until next year (this year), before he was sick no soon as he was over the "flu" (antibiotic" treatment)... and I didnīt wanted thim to be antis for so long as he could have liver damage so I "allowed" him to be sick from time to time...

after this sinus treatment... he was and has been fine... just this season he was diagnosed with allergies too.. but the kind of seasonal allergies... that because of polen and such... and was given a nasal spray for 15 days and a cough med as he has irritated throat... but those were his only symptoms... cough...

he recovered and now has cough again... in the morning right when getting up, if he agitates too much and/or before going to sleep... so it could well also be cold, temp changes and that... so now Iīm just keeping an eye on him... no meds... unless he gets fever or I see him really really uncomfortable... but again, itīs just a couple coughs a day and thats it.. and not even every day....

I donīt want to over medicate... as later he might not get relief from meds if needed later in life...
