Worried. Cough, fever out of the blue
Good morning all - My husband has been having fevers, coughing, muscle/bone pain for the last 3-days. Went to Doctor yesterday for blood cultures and script for 7 day antibiotic. Fevers ranging from 101.5 to 103. No energy and I know he has to be dehydrated by now. I get as much liquid in him as possible. Food intake dropping daily. (Even I've lost 3 lbs in the last 24 hours.) Had his 10th Aranesp shot on Monday. Blood holding around 9.3. Whites shot up to 2.1. Any suggestions on soothing the cough? He hasn't slept much. Just wondering if any of you have experienced this and would maybe have a suggestion or 2. His inabillity to do anything, coughing all the time is making him crazy. Thanks for any suggestions....Peachy
PS Have another call into Dr. as I realized I didn't ask enough questions yesterday.
