Jonah stopped his daily antibiotic for his kidney on 1-14-23. On that day, he started with a bad cold.
Between him and Ben, they have both struggled with cold symptoms for the past month. However, neither have not had a fever over the course these past 4 weeks.
On Saturday, though, Jonah started to complain of a very sore throat. Jonah has a high pain tolerance so when he says something hurts, that usually means it really hurts. We also noticed a white spot in the back of his throat. So off to urgent care we went where he was diagnosed with strep and a sinus infection. We decided to have Ben checked too, and it ends up he also has strep.
I'm not a medical expert by any means, but I am wondering if that daily antibiotic was helping Jonah fight off the many cold/flu bugs going around. When we stopped that line of protection, he caught a cold and then couldn't get rid of it? Just a thought...
