Avatar n tn You can buy Vick especially for young children and you can apply this to her chest and back to help relieve any congestion. If she does have a fever, you can give her child medications that bring the fever down and also put on light clothing and apply a cool compress to her head. If she has a cough and a lot of congestion, you can also put a bowl of hot water with some Vick in her room, making sure that she cannot get to it because of the hot water.
Avatar f tn What it feels like is the chronic post nasal drip I have has caused congestion in my upper chest. However, the weird part is, I really have no cough, and the occasional cough has never brought anything up. In the past, if my chest begins to feel this way, it is followed by the painful cough and coughing stuff up. I would not call what I have sometimes as pain, it feels more like irritation. When I am active, as well as when I drink a lot of water, it seems to be much better.
Avatar n tn For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
Avatar f tn I have this tightness in my chest i kno its mucus but i dont have a cough or cold it hurts when i try to take a deep breath ive never had chest congestion before im not coughing up blood or anything like that. ive been using my asthma pump because when i was younger i had trouble with asthma it helps clearing my airways so i can breath easier but it comes back after awhile. Help?
Avatar f tn I have severe chest congestion. This has been going on for about 3 months. It's strange because I will have constant congestion and cough one day and the next day I will be almost clear. I know that if I have congestion one day the next day I will not. I plan my days accordingly. My dr. has put me on antiboitics and presidone twice in the last 3 months, I've had a chest x-ray last week, shows nothing. I have had allergies all my life.
Avatar n tn I still have a low grade fever ranging from 99-100.2 degrees pretty consistently. My chest congestion is worse and lungs feel tight. Is this normal for H1N1?
Avatar f tn cause the more irritants in the air the worse it will get. the pain in the chest is because when you do exercise your respiratory tract is working over time. and with your bronchial tubes irritated and inflamed its gonna hurt. It sometimes even gives a very annoying itch in your chest. But go to the doctor and have you and the kids checked on. like i always say when in doubt find it out.
Avatar f tn Decaffeinated tea with lemon and a tablespoon of honey helped with the coughing and chest congestion. Also drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Hope you get to feeling better soon!
Avatar f tn You can buy Vick specially for young children and this can be rubbed on the back and chest. There are plug-ins that have menthol vapours to help with breathing. Carvol drops that are placed on the edge of a pillow or as directed to help unblock any congestion. As you wrote on the 20th I do hope that the baby is much better now.
478429 tn?1265244387 Soooo, DS has had a persistant cough since about Sunday. I took him to the pediatrician yesterday since my MIL called and told me that my StepFIL (who was really sick about 2wks ago) did indeed test +ive for whooping cough. So I took him in to be tested, and not to mention that I'm also 19wks pregnant. They said it would take between 24-48hrs for it to come back. My question is, during his naps and bedtime he coughs a lot and I know he's not getting great sleep b/c of it.

Avatar f tn I continue to experience chest congestion. Why do I still have chest congestion after 3 years?
170935 tn?1225371076 tickley/itchy feeling in your chest mostly in the upper back area. Its like I have to scratch my back but the itch is deep inside my body' Yes. I have experienced this same sensation several times; however, in my case, it was due to chest congestion such as a cold, bronchitis, pneumonia, allergy, etc. After a complete and full recovery the tickley/itchy feeling would eventually deminish over a little time. Could it be possible that this may be the cause for you, as well?
Avatar m tn The spitting up of Phlegm is part of the healing process its normally yellow or green,,it is often associated with a wet' chest cough .Keep the air in the house moist with a humidifier, turn on a hot steamy shower for her to breathe in if you do not have a humidifier.Give her plenty of drinks ,apple juice and water are good,offer popsicles to help loosen phlegm .Children do get 6-8 coughs colds and other respiratory infections a year. Good luck hope shes feeling okay soon .
Avatar n tn I have been unwell for over 2weeks now, a week ago i went to see the doctor told him about my symtoms and he said that i have the swine flue, but now i have recovered frm most of the symptoms but left with really bad headache and vomitting alot, i have never had this bad headache before.. what could it be??
Avatar f tn I been having coughing, chest congestion, nasal congestion and coughing up nasty stuff (mucus) ewww. What can I take or what can I do to fight this bug? Because I feel hopeless.
Avatar f tn I feel like death. Headache, nausea, chest congestion, throats on fire. I am pumping in the vitamin c, but is there anything else I can do?
Avatar f tn You can also put in a corner of the room a bowl of hot water with some Vick in it so as to allow the steam vapours into the room to help him breathe. If you do have other children, do make sure that they cannot reach the bowl of water. Keep the baby warm and offer a warm diluted baby juice drink or just plain water. The doctor may also prescribe a baby pain relief medication in suspension form to help reduce any raised temperature. Best wishes.
Avatar m tn A bad gastric reflux can cause sinus like symptoms and chest congestions which are worst in the morning as that is the time the reflux is worst. Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. You will need to take a combination of medications (under medical supervision) like a proton pump inhibitor such as omeprazole, lansoprazole or pantoprazole empty stomach in the morning and an antacid gel after meals for complete relief.
Avatar n tn Delsym is the strongest over the counter cough medicine that you can get. Tastes terrible but it works! Is there any congestion and if so where (chest,face). There are 3 different types of Mucinex, maybe it wasn't the one you needed.
Avatar f tn t help much because we can only take the one for chest congestion and not nasal congestion. You can try Benadryl. Otherwise, I just ate oranges, drank plenty of water and rested. I was better in 4 days.
Avatar f tn My question is the the last 3 months as I am laying down for a while I get a gurggle feeling in my chest and it almost feels like congestion so I make a cough to see if that would help and I have no congestion at all and the cough doesnt help. When I stand for a minute is when it will go away. Can you please tell me what this means or if I should go get a 2nd opinion??? Heart related issues runs on my mother side of the family and just about everyone has an issue.
