Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 I have often wondered this! So croup could be really whooping cough??? I wonder this about a lot of diseases actually ... especially after having my son and seeing the things other children in my email groups are getting.

Disease names are just names of a group of symptoms doctors have come up with. Although croup usually lasts much shorter............but maybe a very healthy child will only get croup that lasts shorter time. Very good questions. I don'tknow. And what Nansi has said is a very strong possibility - doctor will diagnose it as croup if vaccinated. But croup lasts a much shorter time.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 I think even longer than that. I seem to remember hearing it called the 100 day cough. Anita " Sheri B. " <tallchick1966@...> wrote: Whooping cough lasts a LONG time. Six weeks or so (?). My daughter coughed well over a month - maybe six weeks. I'm not saying she had it, but that was my guess. It was the cough that just wouldn't go away. Sheri B. --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em. Make PC-to-phone calls as low as 1¢/min with Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 How frighteneing, ! Breathing issues scare me half to death. I'm so glad she recovered after her allopathic treatments. I suppose the right homeopath could have helped you avoid the ER, but that's irrevelent now. What's important is that she's well now with no more such occurences. Anita troy lucas <tlucas@...> wrote: When my daughter had " croup " it came on quick--overnight--she had it very severe. She was only 14 months old and I could hear her breathing through a closed door. She did not respond to a days worth of trying homeopathy and herbs with our then anthroposophical pediatrician and ended up in the ER with two breathing treatments before her oxygen levels were within normal limits. She was fine after a few days. L. --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls. Great rates starting at 1 & cent;/min.
