I need opinions! Emma has had a little cough all day. But now sounds crazy congested. I think it…

Have you spoken to her pediatrician?

how old is she?

@milasmomma, yes we went last Monday and she tested her for rsv it was negative she said it was allergies and I could give her Benadryl but I'm so nervous about it!!

If the pediatrician says its okay, I would do it 😊 If it makes you nervous, just give her half of a pill and not the full thing

@lilmama83, she's 4 and a half months. @milasmomma it's the liquid kind.

how long has she had this cough just today?

I would just give her half off the recommended dose then 😊

@lilmama83, no weeks!!!

my friend had that happen also dr said it was a cold and now her little one has rsv really bad i would have her checked again soon

have her checked again for rsv

@lilmama83, okay thanks. I figure if it's not better by tomorrow I'll call the on call nurse. I hate taking her to the hospital with all the crap going around at a hospital

yeah true let me know but till then run a humidifier or take her in the bathroom shut the door turn the shower on hot and sit in there with her for 15-20 minutes with the steam going and don't turn the fan on and let it get hot and steamy in there that sometimes helps break up the gunk in their chest

sit on the toilet while holding her
