So just when i thought the meds were starting to work my daughter got a cold and is manically chewing on things
She has had the cold for 1 week now and her reflux is really bad again. When babies are ill or teething do the meds not work or do you have to increase them ?
I thought it might have been something i ate but its not getting better and she is all congested. As if sleep wasn’t rare enough in this house now she is coughing and waking herself up !
How long do colds normally last as this is the first one she has ever had!
Yes, reflux tends to worsen with colds and with teething. Some moms and docs even increase reflux meds during colds.
As for how long does a cold last….typically they last a week to ten days with my three. Sometimes we’re fortunate and it passes in 4-5 days, but most of the time it’s at least a week.
If they have a cough I usually ask the doctor for some a prescription for cough medicine to use only at night. That way we all get some sleep.
I hope she’s feeling better soon.
