Question

4 mo baby with loud breathing, sometimes wheezy for past 4 weeks & cough sometimes have asthma in family-possible asthma this early?

Answer 1

Yes: Yes, your baby needs oxygen to thrive. Stress is not good for your baby. Please get medical attention for both you and your bsby's sake！.

Answer 2

It might: A dry cough can be a sign of active asthma problems. If you are having shortness of breath more than twice a week, then you need to be taking a controller medication every day. There are several medications that are considered safe during pregnancy. Keep in mind that if your baby is not getting enough oxygen, this is more damaging than any asthma inhalers.

Answer 3

M.D. visit needed.: The dry cough that you are having is most likely related to your asthma. Identifying the triggers of your symptoms, for example cold air then developing a plan to avoid the trigger is part of the management. In addition, using a form of anti inflammatory medication such as prednisone or an inhaled steroid, will help you manage your symptoms. In addition sinusitis/reflux/aspiration are possible

Answer 4

See doctor ASAP: Asthma exacerbation during pregnancy poses danger to the fetus. You need to see a doctor ASAP and may need a short course of steroid. Don't delay another minute.

Answer 5

Varies: The amount of bowel movements an infant can have varies tremendously. It can be every few hours, once a day, every few days, or even once a week. The important thing is to speak to your pediatrician if he/she is very uncomfortable when passing a stool, if the stool is very hard, or if there is a sudden and dramatic change in her bowel movements.

Answer 6

0-7: 7 times in 1 day or 1 time is seven days as long as it is soft and not painful, it's normal.

Answer 7

3 - 4: A young baby usually poops after each feeding or after every-other feeding (averaging 3-4 poops a day). As the weeks go by, babies tend to poop less often, some twice a day while others once every-other day. As long as a baby is happily eating and growing; and does not have constipation, bloating, or tummy aches; the number of poops a day is not very important. Babies pee several times a day.

Answer 8

Often: The more "tummy time" your baby gets, the rounder her head will be and the easier it will be for her to learn to roll, sit and crawl. Tummy time - as much as possible!

Answer 9

Often as can: As often as you can while awake. Start with 2-3 minutes aftwr each diaper change to remind yourself. Get down with baby to look at you and/or toys. Increase time and frequency as baby gets stronger.

Answer 10

Multiple ways: Asthma during pregnancy: 30% of paitents worsen, 30% stay the same, and 30% improve. Treat and manage your asthma the same as if you weren't pregnant. Try to avoid allergens and triggers for allergies and asthma. Using a peak flow meter may help you to gauge teh severity of your symptoms. You should definitely get the flu shot during flu season. Many meds are safe to use--just consult your ob.

Answer 11

Asthma in Preg: For many patients, allergies and asthma go hand in hand. First, minimize your exposure to allergens (use anti-dust mite mattress and pillow covers, air filters, and filtered vacuums). Nasal irrigation can help many, such as a syringe or neti pot. Talk to your doctor about medicines. Zyrtec or Claritin (and their generics) are considered safe. Asthma medicines may need to be adjusted personally.

Answer 12

Possibly: Research has shown that some infants are more prone to ear infections due to genetic factors, so these may "run in families". Even more important factors which increase the risk of ear infections are bottle feeding, being in daycare, and exposure to second hand cigarette smoke.

Answer 13

Not necessarily: The immune system is very complex, so there are many variables that will affect whether your infant will get ear infections. Most ear infections occur in the setting of colds- so one thing you can control is limiting your infants exposure to people who are sick and by practicing good hand washing.

Answer 14

Baby look like you?: While ear infections are not genetic, certain facial structures may lend themselves to predisposing you to fluid buildup in the middle ear, which can be a set-up for an ear infection. If you had lots of ear infections and your baby "looks" alot like you did as an infant, they may be more prone to infections. Big tip-avoid things like feeding lying down or exposure to irritants such as cigarettes.

Answer 15

It is low...: Have your doctor explain the results so you can understand what the plan will be. Most likely it is an anemia due to iron deficiency, but need to rule out genetic reasons like thalassemias. Treatment is via iron supplements or foods rich in iron like green leafy vegetables, meats, beans and iron enriched cereals. Egg yolks are also a good source.
