He has none of these things! :) so I'm glad I went...I feel waaayyyy better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-450673 Sun, 16 Dec 2012 12:06:24 +0000 winniebee 450673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: is your LO ok? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449769 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 09:22:50 +0000 winniebee 449769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: @Beebug: Hope everything is ok! I go with my gut - always good to get them checked when you are in doubt. My 7 month old had a cough for 2 weeks that wouldn't go away - no other symptoms but I got him checked out anyways. He's fine, but I felt better knowing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449748 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 08:26:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Beebug: Really-this weekend should be lots O' fun :/ hope C doesn't have an ear infection:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449734 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 08:07:41 +0000 matador84 449734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine had a tiny cough at 8 weeks and it turned into a cold so I took him to dr at 9 weeks. I would take him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449728 Sat, 15 Dec 2012 07:57:30 +0000 Beebug 449728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: You and me both at clinics this weekend, ugh. Positive thoughts for both of the LOs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449641 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:57:53 +0000 erwoo 449641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say call his pediatrician and see what they say. Never hurts! Hope it's nothing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449619 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 23:14:17 +0000 ninja 449619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fully believe in mother's intuition. If you're worried, better to take him in and ease your mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449560 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 22:08:30 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: ok-thank goodness his breathing is fine. I jut hate the cough:/ thank you for your input:))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449543 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:51:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 449543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Bronchiolitis is caused by a virus, often RSV and is cared for using supportive care. No antibiotics necessary. If your little one is showing any signs of respiratory distress, they should be evaluated for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449536 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:46:05 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: what is bronchiolitis? I read about it but is it something that may go away with care or only antibiotics? @littlek: will do. I agree with that motto<br /> @winniebee: our ped lives in our subdivision so I think I'll have DH call him tomorrow morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449444 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:06:41 +0000 littlek 449444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go see your pediatrician. Better safe than sorry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449434 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:57:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 449434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: there is no bronchitis in babies, only bronchiolitis. Id be skeptical of family medical advice. When in doubt get the baby seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449432 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:55:50 +0000 winniebee 449432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Can you take LO into an urgent care clinic on Saturday just to ease your mind? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449425 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:37:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: yes...like it sounds wet, if that makes sense.<br /> I HATE google...of course first thing to pop up is "pertussis". My legs buckled when I read that &amp; now I'm freaking out &amp; so is DH. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449423 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:35:48 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: he sounds like a smoker?</p> <p>I just had my FIL check him &amp; he said it may be the beginnings of bronchitis and to keep him inside...no visitors..and to get him into the ped first thing in on Monday unless theres any lethargy, loss of appetite and/or fever. I'm still not 100% convinced. My FIL is a family doctor with 26yrs experience though:/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449422 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:34:22 +0000 winniebee 449422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a loose cough? Like phlegmy? That's the best kind of cough to have. I might take him to get seen just b/c he is younger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449418 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 19:32:44 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 449418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Croup is going around....I would get him checked just in case (but I am usually pretty cautious). Does he sound like a barking seal? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449401 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:57:00 +0000 loveisstrange 449401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think because he's not vaccinated yet, it's worth getting him seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/8w-old-with-raspy-cough-is-this-ok#post-449400 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 18:55:10 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 449400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm BFing with my other hand so I have to be short with this!<br /> LO has a raspy cough but his breathing is good (also a bit raspy-no shortness of breath though).<br /> I can feel his cough in his chest &amp; back if that makes sense.<br /> He hasn't had his shots yet (his appointment is in 5 days).<br /> Any ideas? When to worry? Should I not worry?<br /> He's acting fine other than that. </p>
