baby weight

my boy is 81/2 mos old and weighs 22lbs. in the past 3 weeks he has had a n on and off nasal infection.  one round of meds did not do it so we got something different.  he has not gained weight in 3 weeks.  should i be concerned that he has not gained weight in 3 weeks.  the doctors says it is because of the antibiotics and he is in the 95th percentile for his weight anyway.

i'm sure he'll be fine...  i know as an adult when i'm sick i'll loose a pound or 2...  if he's just not gaining that should be ok especially since he's so big already...  lol...  22lbs?  i thought my dd was a fatty...  she just weighed in at 18lbs 14oz at her 9 month checkup a couple days ago!!!  i also think babies will go through spurts of gaining and then spurts of maintaining their weight...  i hope he feels better soon though, its not fun having a nasal infection!
