Here we snot again!

Well, it has happened again. My persistent runny nose is back. I finished my 21 days of Augmentin and 1 week later my thick green runny nose came back. Mommy started giving me Zyrtec as soon as she saw my nose running just like the ENT doc had told her, but it didn't seem to help. We got into see the ENT 2 weeks after this runny nose started. He started me on a different antibiotic (Cefprozil) for 2 weeks, and I will go see him again. Hopefully we just haven't found the right antibiotic to totally kill the bacteria in my sinuses. BUT he also sent me out for lab work to check and make sure my immune system is working right and to check to see if I have food or inhalant allergies that are setting me up for bacterial growth. Depending on what the lab work shows and if this antibiotic can rid me of this runny nose, the next step is to have my adenoids removed and a complete sinus washing. We REALLY hope it doesn't come to that, but we will see...
Oh and I just got over a very rough virus where I ran 104 fever for 2 days and my tonsils were so big that I would not eat (except for a popcicle with daddy), could barely breathe, and was just miserable. (The ENT thinks my nose problem is just making me highly susceptible to any little virus, so that is another reason we have to get it fixed) Thank you Nonny for taking such good care of me when mommy went to work!
