Of she won't go down for a nap ill do that. Then bath time in the steamy bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109470 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:25:16 +0000 looch 1109470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call, but that's because my son is pre-asthmatic and I am paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109464 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:23:34 +0000 Honeybee 1109464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You might also try a steam shower while you're waiting. About 20 minutes in a nicey steamy bathroom really helps my kids when they get congested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109454 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:20:32 +0000 Foodnerd81 1109454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They open at nine but are in a staff meeting until ten! Even as a ftm I guess I realize this isn't an emergency. Glad you would call too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109413 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:04:51 +0000 Bookish 1109413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 12 weeks and has been congested for a few days now. She hasn't run a fever yet and it seems to be improving, so I haven't called yet. I'm giving it til this weekend, because I figure it's just a cold or allergies, which the Dr can't do anything about. If she was 8 weeks though, I'd probably call just to be on the safe side. Not overreacting at all :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109405 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 08:00:52 +0000 Foodnerd81 1109405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She does seem fine otherwise, her usual aometimes super sweet and sometimes cranky mess behavior :). But I hate hearing her so congested. I'm going to call when she finishes eating since they should be open now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109398 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 07:59:26 +0000 Smurfette 1109398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 8 weeks, I would call and have them check her out, just to be on the safe side. I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109391 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 07:56:01 +0000 littlebug 1109391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>D has had congestion for the past couple of days and it's causing him to cough a lot and interrupting his sleep. He had the same thing several weeks ago. I let it go until he had a fever and started pulling on his ear. But he's 8 months, not 8 weeks. Probably at 8 weeks I would have at least called the ped and run it by them. That's what they're there for!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/infant-congestion-when-to-call-the-doctor#post-1109387 Wed, 25 Sep 2013 07:53:33 +0000 Foodnerd81 1109387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C has been a little congested for a few day but last night it seemed a lot worse. You can hear her breathing and it just all.,. Snotty sounding? I've done saline drops and the nosefrida but it only helped somewhat. She also has been coughing occasionally- just a couple if little coughs but I'm worried its snot backing up in her throat? Ped isn't open er but I'm not totally overreacting calling for this right? She is only 8 weeks. </p>
