What Kind of Parent Am I?

What kind of parent am I to wish a nasty double ear infection on my child? I don't know where this places me in the ranks of mommy-hood but we are going to the doctors today and I am really, really hoping that the boy has an ear infection as something to fix it will follow. It's been two long months with a chronic cough and disruptive sleep. He's had a chest x-ray which was clear. He's been on a once-a-day nebulizer treatment for 11 days and I haven't noticed any improvement. Yesterday he woke up with scratches around his ear. Last night he was up 5 times. This morning he had a mild rash around his ears and complained that he could not ear the TV. He does not have a fever and is in a general good mood. I just want something to make sense. Is that too much to ask for?
