SICK ADVICE: Ladies, help! My 5 month old son has been sick for 9 days (since Feb. 28). It started with a rough cough, runny nose and congestion/sneezing. We took him to his doctor, they told us he has bronchiolitis. They gave him a nebulizer treatment and we went home. They asked us to come in the following day for a follow up and he was worse, yet they said his lungs sound clear. Another treatment and home.
He didn't have a high temperature, 99.7 this past Thursday and began projectile vomiting 4x in one hour (10pm) and had only eaten 16 oz. for the day (way less than normal). Now he is vomiting straight phlegm. He's still congested, and still has a disgusting cough. He is eating better though.
What would y'all do? Back to the doctor tomorrow and if no difference bring him to the ER? I'm thinking it's more than bronchiolitis.
❤️❤️ Thank you!

Oh I feel for you! Every thing you described I just went through with my son. I took him to 3 different ERs to just be sent home. I know it's hard and you don't sleep every time you hear him cough it's scary but I'd suggest what children's hospital told me. When the baby sleeps let him/her sleep elevated, they said a car seat but I didn't like that so I used his bouncer, that'll keep the mucus down and out of his nose, a shower steam treatment before the nebulizer and feed him while he is at a 90 degree angle and cut his amount of food in half bc of the virus the baby's belly can't process it all since it is in defense mode. Unfortunately you just have to let it runs its course, I will tell you though you are near the end! It gets worse before getting better. It lasted about 14 days with my son. He still is slightly congested but at least the rest is over. I'll be thinking of you I know what you're going through, it's tough. Hang in there mommy.

Thank you. I'm going to take him. As a first time mom I wanted to make sure I wasn't over analyzing what they diagnosed. But as I'm learning- it's never over the top when it comes to your baby. I stopped feeling bad calling 5+ times after hours to his doctor on call after the second time. Thank you ladies! 💗@cierra216 @linnychicken199
