frustrated with dr

Vi
My LO has been fussy since Monday. Tugging at his R ear, his R eye has green discharge. He's been coughing. He has only had super low grade fevers but he's been crying so much so I took him in. The resident on call said he has fluid in his ear but no infection yet but it'll likely turn in to one and gave us an antibiotic for his eye just in case it gets worse but told us not to fill it unless we had to. Now my LO only has taken 31.5 oz formula (usually takes 48-50). Doctor didn't really offer any other advice. Not sure what I wanted him to say but it still irritated me haha. You guys have any tips on dealing with sick kiddos? Can't lay him down without him screaming.
