I should know this.. Help? Update with doctors dx

Glad the dr will see him tomorrow. Hope he is feeling better soon.
Quoting Sparkyfire:
No I don't
He's formula fed
And his breathing isn't as bad now after the shower though I still hear the snot moving. Don't have urgent care and the closest er isn't exactly equipped for lil bitty babies. But doc is still gonna see him tomorrow and we've watched his temp like crazy. So far hasn't gotten higher than 98, but if his breathing gets worse or he starts doing the coughing fits again we will go to the er.
Quoting SlapItHigh:Do you have a nosefrida?


Just wish they could give lil babies something for cough cause its only when he coughs that he does it
Quoting Janet:
If he is actually losing his breath I would take him to the ER.

Yes!! You need a humidifier, could be bronchitis , croup , which can develop into pneumonia so def when you get a chance if it doesn't clear go to a DR asap
Quoting Mrs.Bolin:watch it closely and his breathing. Keep a cool mist humidifier and make yourself a tent like a croop tent with a sheet and have hime sit under it with the humidifier. Drink lots of liquids even popcycles and jello. If he is having hard time breathing and it sounds like its ratteling then go to the e.r. cause it could be a infection. My daughter had RSV a few years ago and was hospitalized. Very serious

But he did reccomend a humidifier, and I have one I just need to go fill the tank on it before I go to sleep, and said watch for fever.

Poor little guy, I hope he gets better soon! I know as I mom that must be scary.
Quoting Sparkyfire:
Well I mentioned it to the doctor that after a coughing fit he'd gasp for breath but not too long, he even did it right there at the office. Doctor said its a common cold and to use a humidifier and watch for fever but since he didnt gasp too long it wasnt a huge concern.

I am so glad you baby is alright!!!
Quoting Sparkyfire:
I took him today, we had an apointment. Doc said its a common cold, we both shared a laugh when he said "now where could he have caught that" since I just had my oldest in for the same thing a week or so before.
