Not the ER: This is not a life threatening emergency. It is a primary care problem. Go to the family doctor.

Family doctor: Since it's been going on for 2 months I don't believe it is an emergency. Unless the symptoms have changed drastically. Taking him to his family doctor with in the next week should be ok
