Drug Directions

So the cough medicine says to visit the doctor if cough persists for more than 3 days. For the dark one, since he's just a kid, we followed those directions. Day 4 we're on our way to the doctor, where he gets an antibiotic prescription. Day 5 he's noticeably better and ready to head back to school the next day. 

Well, wouldn't you guess, a day later I've got the cough and a fever. Taking the grownup version of the medicine helped the symptoms, but it went on for 3 days and I considered heading in to see the doctor. I thought I'd give it one more day, just to see. Wouldn't you know it, day 5 and my fever is gone and my cough noticeably better. And I got to save $100 on a second type of medicine.
