And there's only so much snot you can suck out with a NoseFrida! My LO has also had a few instances where she threw up because she had swallowed so much mucous during the course of a day or two that she ended up just puking it up (usually after a solid meal, too). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postnasal-drip-amp-wont-eat#post-1406595 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 09:25:10 +0000 photojane 1406595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: thanks for replying! Makes me feel much better that someone else has been through it &amp; it's relatively normal. I called the nurses line since she absolutely will not eat, and they told me to bring her in since she's coughing to the point of choking. Hopefully it's nothing &amp; they'll have some tips for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postnasal-drip-amp-wont-eat#post-1406372 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:17:20 +0000 MsLipGloss 1406372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we have been through this a few times. Keep trying to get her to take fluids and be sure to keep track of her wet diapers to make sure she isn't dehydrated. I wouldn't worry so much about the food. Swallowing all of that yuck is likely making her tummy not feel so great (and she probably can't taste much with a stuffy nose either). </p> <p>If she doesn't perk up in the next few hours (how long has she been lethargic?), I would make an appointment with your Ped today. I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/postnasal-drip-amp-wont-eat#post-1406357 Fri, 07 Feb 2014 08:10:37 +0000 photojane 1406357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For the past week Sadie's had an ear infection &amp; virus. Her nose was super cloggy. The past 2 days, she's been pretty much back to normal. Then this morning she was coughing &amp; coughing in her sleep. So much that there was spit up all down the front of her. Since she's been up she has coughed up enough phlegm that it gagged/choked her. I'm thinking it's postnasal drip from her being sick. She won't touch her morning bottle, which has never happened - she always sucks them right down. She won't drink water either. She's clingy &amp; lethargic this morning, but I'm most worried that she won't eat. </p> <p>Anyone else been through this? Advice? </p>
