Guest guest Posted February 3, 2000 Report Share Posted February 3, 2000 Dear , I don't know how old your baby is but with these symptoms I would really suggest having her seen by a ped. With the raspy cough and crackling in her lungs you need to rule out pneumonia or another infection.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2000 Report Share Posted February 3, 2000 Unless the pneumonia poses a severe risk to her ability to live normally, having a ped check to see if it's pneumonia or not poses a more serious risk, imo, to learn that a child simply has a bad case of the flu. There's no point in having an x-ray or two to rule out pneumonia because of a cough, or to get antibiotics for a virus, or to have bloodwork drawn to be sure that the white blood cells are doing their job. Unless the raspy cough is interfering with your child's ability to lead a normal life, and yes, sometimes having a cold or flu is part of normal life, then let it run its course in the safety of your own home. A fever for a few days is not a horrible thing. Neither is a runny nose or a cough. Even if your child has RSV, there is no cure -- only treatment of the symptoms. You can do that at home.

I counted 40 weeks from the conception date and I should've counted 38. So, this puts me due around the 13th or 14th of Oct. making me almost 4 weeks pregnant!! I'm feeling pretty good so far. >> Have you been back to your Dr and had your pregnancy confirmed??? How exciting for you that you got pregnant so soon again. We will be praying for you and your new baby. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I htink you may have to lock yourself in a quiet area until it passes just tell the older ones momy is busy for a minute and will be right back go hid in your rooma nd lock the door so they can't come in a disturbe your baby's eating.
