Hi ,

This is exactly how Mamie Rose presents when she has pneumonia. I'm sorry to tell you that because I know it means an MD visit. Best of luck.

It's hard to tell. There are times I thought something was wrong and it was nothing. And then there are the times that I thought it was nothing (I thought the doctor would laugh me out of the office for wasting his time) and my son ended up in the hospital. I would check it out -- if for no other reason than your peace of mind.

i want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. i took her

to the emergency room last night, the on call dr. said she had

aspiration pneunomia, he sent her home with lots of antibiotics. we

are going to see her dr. today and im not sure what he will do. she

takes everything by mouth, so im sure he will order another swallow

study. she used to aspirate her thin liquids but that was 2 years

ago. we repeated the test last year and her swallow was delayed but

she was not at risk for aspiration. i guess we will just have to wait

and see..my husband is in the military and lives 900 miles from me,

so he is trying to get home for a few days(keep him in your prayers)i

will try to keep everyone posted.

>no her pediatrician is 3 hours away. I live in a small town in

tennessee. and the doctors here are so incometent that i refuse to

let them see her. so I drive her to memphiswhen it is not an

emergency. there is an emergency room about 30 min from me that is

familiar with her and will treat emergencies but only with the help

of her doctor on the phone. its really hard being thet far away from

her doctor but its the only way right now..

Hi :

You may first want to call and talk to your doctor or nurse. Being three

hours away that can be hard on you. But there are colds that are going

around that seem to last a long time. I have a healthy older boy who had a

cough for 2 1/2 weeks. Not wet sounding though. Started as croup and just

eased up. More at night he would cough. But if it is a wet sound you may

want to get it checked out. Could be broncititis. And you don't always have

to have a fever with some issues. I know for our sinus infections we don't

always get the pain and pressure, but it's just a gut instinct as a parent

that you know what is wrong with your child and they need to be seen. Good

luck and let us know how things go.
