Question 1

1yr old with rattle/phlem sound in chest, slight cough, no other symptoms.can it be formula, teething or virus?had recent sinus infection.is it serious?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis/bronchitis: The sound that your daughter is making may be caused by a number of conditions. These include transmission of sound from the upper airway for example by mucus in the nose. Her recent sinus infection raises the possibility of a recurrence or spread of infection to the lungs. If there is a history of fever recently or respiratory difficulty, she should be checked by her doctor.

Question 2

my son has had a bad cough for about 3 days now. it was after he started teething bad. he also has stuffy nose and watery eyes but no fever or other symptoms. i am unsure if i should take him to doctor immediately or if it's safe to wait it out?

Accepted Answer

: You get the most from this site when you provide enough detail for a reasoned answer to be formulated. You do not include the kids age, ability to breathe without difficulty, feed or play which are important factors in assessing the severity of any illness. You are welcome to start over. The answer will differ depending on these factors. If you are spooked enough just go be seen.

Question 3

can teething cause a cough ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Pooled secretions in the throat from excess salivation and inflammation o the gums.

Question 4

my baby is 8/12 old, his temp is 39 for the last 4 days, i don't know why? he has no flu no cough nothing but he start teething is that normal ?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: A low grade viral infection can cause an elevation of body temperature for up to five days, with no other symptoms.  If the temperature is still elevated in a few days it would make sense to have the baby examined.  I don't think the temperature elevation is being caused by the teething.

Question 5

my 3 year old son has a slight flu, cough and body heartiness. temperature reading is 37.6 c and has teething discomfort. should i be worried and what?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Many people call a lot of illnesses the "flu", they are often just other viral illnesses...By 3, kids have often had several of these so you are probably experienced with these. Is he eating ok, sleeping and not having trouble breathing? Then the usual tylenol (acetaminophen) for fever, increased fluids, cool mist humidifier and maybe a cough syrup may be enough. You may be concerned because this one is worse? If.

Question 6

can a 4 month old get a cough and congestion from teething?

Accepted Answer

No: There have been some reports of an association between teething and low-grade fevers. If there is any association with runny nose and coughing, I am not aware of it. Certainly it wouldn't be associated with severe coughing.

Question 7

what to do if my 1 yb old baby has a cough, running fever, and teething what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: One year of age is the outer limit for requiring immediate physician assessment for a child with high fever.  If the baby is acting normally, feeding well, not irritable and not sleeping excessively you can just watch them, keep them well hydrated.  There is controversy over whether fever is due to teething.  There are several otc products directly addressing this.  See your pharmacist.

Question 8

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 9

my 5 month old has a barky cough and is really congested sounding.  he also has a temp of 101.1 and is teething.  should we taking to dr or er?

Accepted Answer

Question 10

my 4 1/2 month old has a very bad cough but no fever. i was told she's fine and the cough is due to teething but her cough sounds like mine. ?

Accepted Answer

Not teething: A cough in a 4 month old requires a physical exam and possibly an Xray.  Teething does not cause coughing.
