Question 1

11 month old - cough at night and chest congestion since 2 wks. taking zyrtec (cetirizine) n terbutaline sulphate orally. is nebulisation needed?

Accepted Answer

Would make an appoin: Virus are very common this time a year.  Prolonged viruses or colds sometimes can turn into something more serious. With symptoms for two weeks, I would recommend that your child be seen in the office. Nighttime coughing could be due to post nasal drip or sinusitis (esp if there is fever). Nebulized treatments and/ or antibiotics may be needed esp if there is a history of reactive airway disease.

Question 2

11 month old continues to cough after rsv has cleared. teething or something rsv related? sometimes she coughs so much she throws up.

Accepted Answer

Asthma: Rsv can trigger asthma, let your baby be evaluated by a pulmonologist.

Question 3

our 11 month old has a cough with lots of phlegm, almost sounds like she's having trouble breathing when she coughs. she keeps waking up crying. what can we give her and when do we go to the er?

Accepted Answer

When you choose to: Cough is a protective reflex meant to bring up mucus/debris from deep in the lung to be removed. Most OTC meds are worthless. When a kid has difficulty taking fluids or strains to breathe it is time for them to be evaluated.

Question 4

my daughter 11 months old got fever cough, vomitting and she breathes rapidly. can i give her ventolin syrup and at what dose?

Accepted Answer

Get medical care: Your daughter needs to see a doctor.  If she has all those symptoms she may have pneumonia and will need to be treated.  If she is breathing rapidly or with difficulty she will need medical care. In most instances, ventolin/ albuterol syrup has fallen out of favor as treatment for asthma and wheezing.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Question 7

is it ok to give banana to 11 months old when he have cough?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It is fine just make sure it is cut up.

Question 8

my daughter 11 months old she got fever cough, vomiting and she breaths rapidly can i give her ventolin syrup and at what dose?

Accepted Answer

Ventolin inhaler: The preferred route of administration for ventolin (albuterol) is by inhaler with holding chamber or via nebulizer.  While ventolin syrup is still available, it's use is uncommon as there are significantly more side effects and doesn't work better than the inhaled route.

Question 9

my 11 month- old has a bad cough and diarrhea but no fever. is it serious?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: Cough is the body's way to clear out the airway. It can be caused by many reasons. Similarly, diarrhea can be caused by the body's need to get some material, such as an infection, out of the body. Even without a fever, in a child that age i would suggest they see the doctor soon.

Question 10

my 11 month old has diarrhea, cold, cough, congestion and fever. i've been giving her pedialyte to help with diarrhea.  nothing seems to help what to do?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea in a baby: Get your child to an er as soon as possible to prevent him from getting dehydrated and to find a cause and a treatment for his debilitating diarrhea (d). An 11 month old can get dehydrated quite quickly and you obviously need to find a way to stop his d as soon as possible. Good luck.
