Jon's Ears

Jon has been very sick lately.  He had an ear infection when we went in for his check up at the end of March.  He completed a course of amoxicillin, but got worse by the end of the 10 day course.  We went back into the doctor and got a different antibiotic.  He finished that course and appeared to be doing better.  He was talking more and was not running any fevers.  Four days after he finished that antibiotic he started running a fever again and pulling on his ear.  I also noticed he was not eating as well.  We went back into the doctor and got yet another antibiotic. We also noticed white spots on his tonsils at that appointment.  The next day I noticed that he was getting white plaques on his tongue.  It appears that Jon has developed a case of oral thrush due to the antibiotic.  We ran to Ridleys and picked up some Gentian Violet and started treating him Saturday night.  He is now walking around with a very purple mouth.  As long as it helps then it does not matter.  He is still extremely whiny and I am pretty worried about him.  I hope he gets better soon.  I do not like seeing him so sick.
