Aliza had a fever of 39.9 on Saturday and was really, really clingy. She perked up on Sunday but developed a worrying cough. (My dad had bronchitis last week.) Yesterday, her fever went back up and her cough got worse, so we took her in to the ped. Bronchitis and azithromycin.

Unfortunately, we're having a hell of a time getting her to take it. She freaks when she sees the dropper. The syringe that holds a full teaspoon is too big for me to do forced admin, and the dropper I CAN do that with only holds half a teaspoon. So I finally got half the dose in--but the rest got spat out because she wouldn't tolerate it twice. She wouldn't take it in ice cream either so I have one dose unused... and Neil tried her dose today in milk, which she wouldn't drink, so that's a wasted one. Of course, they don't give you much extra and she only needs 3 doses total. I'm contributing to antibiotic resistance.
