This morning she had her sinus and chest x-ray and did very well with Daddy. She had to stand on a stool all by herself while they did it and daddy said she wanted him to hold her but hecouldn't and she stood there like a big girl! That made mommy happy since I wasn't there. Then I met them both at Dr. Dudley's office for the results. Apparently Miss Emma has an Atelectic lung or something along those lines. Her lung is not inflating all the way so that's why she's been coughing so much for a month! Dr. Dudley also thinks thats why she keeps spiking fevers. So now she is on Augmentin for the ear infection and Bactrium (sp?) for the lung issue. She will take both medicines for 10 days and they also drew blood out of her poor little arm. It was very sad and quite pitiful but she is so strong and such a trooper. Three nurses came in the room to help b/c noone wanted to poke her precious little skin. The finally decided to take the blood out of her arm and she did so well. Yes, she did cry and it broke my heart but what do you do? I would gladly give them my blood but they didn't want it. :( The dr is checking her immunoglobulins IgA to see if she has a low immune system and I can't remember if they were checking anything else. They did recheck her white blood count and it was elevated but she didn't tell me the exact number. When they checked it 2ish weeks ago it was also elevated. So we should get the results in the morning and Dr. Dudley said she really doesn't think the test will come back bad but she just wants to rule everything out. Emma obviously has a hard time recovering from sickness and she started this last sickness a whole month ago. But on the bright side her sinus x-ray did look clear so that's a positive! Oh and they gave her a cup of Mm's for being such a big girl during the blood draw! :)
I'll will update with the results as soon as I know something.

After looking around I decided I wanted a natural approach I came across your VitaliTonic. After a few weeks I really felt a spring in my step The girls in my book club even teased me and asked if I had a younger man! Thank you very much for making 50 years old the beginning and not the end. - Gladys H.
Life begins at 50
Most of us work our entire lives towards one goal: retirement. Countless hours are spent diligently working and saving money, harnessing all our efforts to create a nest egg to enjoy our later years.
But often, just as we are ready and equipped to enjoy all life has to offer, our bodies start to show the signs of years spent working too hard, worrying too much and taking care of everyone else but ourselves.
It is certainly a somewhat tragic irony that just as grandchildren reach the age where they want to interact with their grandparents, a grandmother and grandfather may be less than up for it due to age-related complaints!
The fact remains that those years await and should be full of rewarding activities and relaxing hobbies all of which require energy, zest and vitality to seize the day!
The natural way
The body relies on every organ to support healthy energy levels. When one body system is compromised a domino effect is created, with one system affecting the next.
To complicate things further, todays modern lifestyle is filled with fast food, (including food additives) pollution and stress. This can directly affect energy levels and over time, sometimes cause health problems and affect the regulation mechanisms of certain organs.
Rather than treating problems in isolation, Naturopaths prefers to take a holistic look at the individual and incorporate changes within their diet, lifestyle, surroundings, and emotional elements thereby supporting the health of the individual as a whole.
Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to support the bodys ability to maintain healthy energy levels, healthy and efficient stamina and routine endurance during the later years.
In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support healthy energy levels as we get older. (e.g. Cicero AF, Derosa G, Brillante R, et al. Effects of Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus maxim.) on elderly quality of life: a randomized clinical trial. Arch Gerontol Geriatr Suppl. 2004;(9):69-73).
What is VitaliTonic?
VitaliTonic is a 100% safe, non-addictive natural herbal remedy formulated by our team of experts in the field of natural medicine. VitaliTonic can be used consistently to safely support healthy energy levels, routine stamina and endurance.
This liquid herbal tincture (for rapid absorption into the system) contains a selection of herbs known to support the bodys ability to support energy levels, thereby helping to maintain balanced metabolism, stamina, endurance and routine, healthy performance without artificial stimulants or caffeine.
VitaliTonic can make all the difference in your later years, without compromising health or risking serious side effects. This formula can be of great benefit for those who wish to grab lifes opportunities with both hands and support healthy energy levels and zest!
The formula remains true to the whole spectrum method of herbal extraction, ensuring the bio-availability and balance of all the active ingredients contained in the remedy. This method of manufacture also significantly reduces the likelihood of side effects and maintains all active ingredients in perfect balance exactly as nature intended!

Augmentin ES (amoxicillin-clavulanate) Highly Effective Treatment For Ear Infections: Presented at ICAAC
TORONTO, ON September 18, 2000 A new high-dose formulation of Augmentin (amoxicillin-clavulanate), called Augmentin ES, is highly effective in eradicating the three most common bacteria that cause middle ear infections in children, including drug-resistant strains, according to a new study presented this week at the 40th annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC).
The data show that Augmentin ES eradicated between 95 and 100 percent of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis, while maintaining the safety profile of the currently marketed Augmentin.
Infections caused by drug-resistant bacteria have increased exponentially in recent years, making childrens ear infections progressively more difficult to treat. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rate of S. pneumoniae (the most common bacteria causing middle ear infections) resistance to penicillin has increased by
more than 300 percent over the past five years in the United States.
In January 1999 the steady rise of drug resistant S. pneumoniae prompted the CDC to issue guidelines for the treatment of middle ear infections. The guidelines recommend high-dose Augmentin as one of three oral antibiotics to be used for treating middle ear infections.
Augmentin ES will be an important Antibiotics in the management of middle ear infections because of its efficacy in eradicating drug-resistant bacteria, said Alejandro Hoberman, M.D., the Jack L. Paradise Endowed Chair of Pediatric Research at Childrens Hospital of Pittsburgh, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and one of the lead investigators of the study. To ensure that childrens ear infections are treated effectively, physicians should select antibiotics based on their effectiveness in eradicating the infecting organisms.
*Augmentin ES contains twice the amount of amoxicillin (90/6.4 mg/kg/day) as traditional Augmentin (45/6.4 mg/kg/day) and therefore provides added efficacy against S. pneumoniae.
In a multi-center trial, 521 children with middle ear infections, age 3-48 months, received Augmentin ES twice a day for 10 days. Bacterial eradication was measured by the repeat tympanocentesis method in patients where S. pneumoniae was present. This testing method involves culturing middle ear fluid before and after 4-6 days of initiating antibiotic therapy. Most experts consider this to be a more rigorous test of antibiotic efficacy than measurement of symptomatic improvement alone.
The data showed that Augmentin ES eradicated 97 percent of penicillin-resistant S. pneumoniae, and 100 percent of penicillin-susceptible and intermediate-resistant S. pneumoniae bacteria. Augmentin ES also eradicated 95 percent of H. influenzae and 100 percent of M. catarrhalis, including drug-resistant strains. H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis are known to produce an enzyme called beta-lactamase that renders these bacteria resistant to many antibiotics, including amoxicillin, penicillin and several cephalosporin antibiotics. Augmentin ES, which contains a substance called clavulanic acid, is specifically designed to inhibit beta-lactamase and therefore provides increased efficacy against H. influenzae and M. catarrhalis.
Clinical success rates in this study were also high, with Augmentin ES improving or eliminating the symptoms of middle ear infections in approximately 93 percent of children with infections caused by S. pneumoniae alone or in combination with other bacteria, including more than 90 percent of patients with infections caused by resistant S. pneumoniae.
Clinical success also occurred in about 90 percent of children with infections caused by H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, or Streptococcus pyogenes. Augmentin ES was well tolerated, maintaining the safety profile of the currently marketed Augmentin. The most commonly reported adverse experiences included diarrhea, vomiting, diaper rash and fever.
Augmentin has remained an extremely effective treatment for ear infections for more than 16 years, said Dr. Hoberman. The development of this new formulation, which includes a doubled dose of amoxicillin, will ensure appropriate management of middle ear infections in this era of increasing drug resistance.
Next to the common cold, ear infections are the most common childhood illness and are responsible for more than 30 million doctor visits each year. Three out of four children experience at least one middle ear infection before they are three years old and of these, almost half experience three or more episodes. When an antibiotic that is not effective in killing all of the bacteria that cause an ear infection is used, the surviving bacteria may mutate and become resistant to that particular antibiotic, making future infections tougher to treat. In effort to combat this problem, the CDC issued guidelines which recommend the most effective antibiotics for middle ear infections. When an ear infection caused by bacteria is left untreated or treated with the wrong antibiotic, the infection is more likely to recur and on rare occasions may develop into a serious complication such as mastoiditis (swelling of the jaw bone), meningitis or permanent hearing loss.

Hi. I think Loulu2u said it well.
Here is some more information:
.
Fexofenadine (Allegra) is in a class of medications called antihistamines. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms. Whats great about it is that it is NON SEDATING - Claritin can make you drowsy at higher doses and Zyrtecs regular dosing can have sedating effects.
There are several versions of Allergra including those with Pseudophedrine (Allegra D), orally disintegrating tablets, and various dosaging (180mg, 120mg, 60mg) options.
I have such severe allergies (year round - but Trees/Grasses/Molds are my worst) that I take the 180 mg dose twice a day. I have had no adverse side effects. At times, I take a decongestant (pseudophedrine) along with the fexofenadine to help with the extra stuffies of the bad reactions.
I did some research to help figure the answer to your question. I found your answer and a bit more. Maybe the info here is too much - but atleast I learned a bit.
Drugs dot com says that fexofenadine (the generic version of Allegra) is rapidly absorbed in a mean average of 2.6 hours. So, if you have been taking Allegra for a few days now, you should have a good level built up in your blood stream. If you are not finding relief, you should contact your doctor. The dosaging may not be enough, you might be taking a conflicting medication which limits the abilites of Allegra to work, you might need additional help to get over the rought times.
Here are a few suggestions about taking Allegra/Fexofenadine:
* Take with water, not juice (see study below)
* Take around the same time every day.
* If you take an antacid, take the antacid several hours before or after you take the Allegra.
* Do not eat with a high fat meal, it reduces plasma levels by 20% (drugs.com)
PS -
I just found this out - that if you are thinking about becoming pregnant, you might want to check with your doctor. Allegra is a Class C drug - which means it might cause harm to the baby or be passed along in breast milk. hmmm...yet its safe enough for a 2 year old with hives.

Here is some more information:
.
Fexofenadine (Allegra) is in a class of medications called antihistamines. It works by blocking the effects of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergy symptoms. Whats great about it is that it is NON SEDATING - Claritin can make you drowsy at higher doses and Zyrtecs regular dosing can have sedating effects.
There are several versions of Allergra including those with Pseudophedrine (Allegra D), orally disintegrating tablets, and various dosaging (180mg, 120mg, 60mg) options.
I have such severe allergies (year round - but Trees/Grasses/Molds are my worst) that I take the 180 mg dose twice a day. I have had no adverse side effects. At times, I take a decongestant (pseudophedrine) along with the fexofenadine to help with the extra stuffies of the bad reactions.

Evan had his 4 year old check up on Tuesday. He did really well with it - passed all of the tests with flying colors. He had been complaining a little bit about his ears so I asked the pediatrician about them. He told me that there was a little fluid, but nothing to be concerned about.
Around 5 p.m. the same day, Evan began really complaining about his ears. At midnight he was up - screaming about his ears. This continued until about 5 a.m. when we went downstairs and watched a video on the couch. Luckily, I was able to get in to the first appointment of the day at the pediatrician's office. We saw a different doctor at the clinic this time. Evan greeted him by whimpering "My ear hurts, please fix my ear!". Poor guy. Over night a raging infection had developed and he was absolutely miserable. I was very afraid that his eardrum might rupture before we were able to treat the infection.
The first dose of antibiotics went down pretty well. After a prolonged battle, the second dose last night was finally mixed into vanilla ice cream. Evan, Papa and I ate ice cream together - ours was plain and his was "vanilla strawberry". He knew, but he was able to play along and choked it down. He did enjoy slurping it with a straw and even laughed a couple of times, in between grimaces! Evan informed us, however, that he doesn't especially care for this flavor and would prefer plain vanilla next time. Thank goodness the medicine went down a little better this morning and evening! I hope that this will continue to be the case.
Evan has a tea party at nursery school tomorrow - I hope that he is able to attend! It should be interesting!
