Worried

[Anonymous]

I was reading your posts and the RSV and other respiratory problems scared me a bit. My guy recently diagnosed with MSPI and GERD. Worried he will develop respiratory problems because of it. We are treating of course – but still trying to find the magic potion of the right bottle, formula, cereal, and medicine to help control it.

Can anyone give me sign to watch for. Obviously and cough. He coughs occasional when he spits – but not often. I guess I am just not sure though how much too often is and when to become concerned. I am really sure that he is fine at this point – but i want to be aware of what to look for.

Thanks. I hope all your babies start doing well soon.

With RSV, you look for a high fever, struggling to breathe (like he is using his stomach and chest and neck muscles really hard to breathe), and listlessness. Robbie was sick with asthma/allergies for two months before RSV hit. Now he just has the asthma/allergies, but I think it is genetic and environmental, not reflux related. <!–

SymReal();
}

SymOnLoad()
{
if(SymRealOnLoad != null)
SymRealOnLoad();
window.open = SymRealWinOpen;
SymReal = window.;
window. = Sym;
}

SymRealOnLoad = window.onload;
window.onload = SymOnLoad;

Thanks. I will keep an eye out. I hope Robbie is doing better. You all have sure been through a lot. Hang in there.

Yes, with infection – there will be fever. My son coughed a lot when he drank his formula and when he refluxed.

My son has/had Laryngomalacia and Tracheomalacia and has only had a fever/repitory infection once. And he clearly caught it from a girl at daycare who had it and came back too soon – boy was I pissed!!

He had constant colds his second winter, but his his third winter he’s doing great (at a different daycare than last year).
