Avatar n tn My now 16yr old had her first round of croup at 8 weeks old and turned blue in her crib and her first diagnosed asthma at age 18mos ... so you have come to the right place for "Mom" experience with croup. She had croup no less than 6-8X a year and now looking back at her history (she is documented asthmatic) she was probably having RAD or asthma going on which was misdiagnosed as croup or was croup along with the asthma. She was on nebulizerr, etc.
Avatar n tn My six month old son was diagnosed with croup over two weeks ago. He started to get better but starting last night, he developed a nasty sounding cough? Should I be concerned his croup turned into pneumonia?
Avatar f tn DD has croup, i was just wondering if anyone else has had a child with it. Last night was so miserable for her, and i barely got any sleep. I feel so helpless because she is so comfortable and i cant take that away from her. Dr gave her a dose of prednisone and said to do the home remedies and that it could last up to 7 days. Im just so upset because i relate all her illness's to daycare and maybe i shouldnt but i do.
Avatar m tn it’s the croup, it’s the croup and my son would be prescribed prednisone. This went on until February of this year, when my wife and I asked the doctor to check for some other problem… he diagnosed him with asthma and acid-reflux. He was placed on two inhalers.. (Qvar 80mcg & ProAir HFA), as well as zantac 150mg. Since the time that my son was placed on this medicine, he has begun to have constant coughing attacks.
Avatar n tn My son too has chronic croup. He is now 8 years old and is suffering from it since he's been 2. Doctors have diagonosed him as having asthma. I went to an ENT and he said he is fine. I went to a allergist and he is allergic to Dust....however he only get episodes of Croup during October through Feb. I'm really fustrated and confused, he is on Flovent twice a day, flonase twice a day, albuterol as needed and steroids when his croup is bad which is likely 3-4 times a year.
Avatar n tn Nobody can explain why she gets it so much. She has never had any other illness or infection besides the croup. Never even rotovirus, only croup. A couple (2-3) times it has turned into pneumonia. The pediatric ENT did a bronchoscopy on her and it was perfectly normal. Now I have appointments with a pediatric pulmonologist and an immunologist. She has had allergy testing and is no allergies to anything.
Avatar f tn I had croup when I was 15. At the time I had undiagnosed autoimmune pernicious anaemia (vitamin B12 is essential for a healthy immune system). "Teens who have not developed antibodies to the viruses that cause croup and those whose immune systems are compromised can develop viral croup." - Livestrong - Croup in teens.
Avatar f tn My 3 yr.old woke up this morning with croup! :/ I'm not afraid of catching a cold or anything that's a part of life but I'm 22 weeks pregnant and haven't ever dealt with croup let alone while pregnant. What are the chances of catching it myself and how will that affect my unborn baby???
Avatar f tn Again i brought him and she said it was the start of CROUP. His lungs were clear and she said to give him 15mg of Prednosolone 2 tiems a day. ...it seems to get the coughing to ease up. Today i put him in the shower w me to clean him up a bit and he began to get hives on his face like crazy. scratching he was so upset. I quickly gave him Benadryl and he was ok after a while. My question is this...can the croup be causing the Hives? and was it the steam opening up his pores what made it worse?
Avatar f tn So this morning I took him to the doctor (I was super scared that he may have the swine flu) and discovered he has croup. I have been sent home with a slew of medicines to administer, and a sick little baby to care for. The poor thing. Anyway my ped said that croup is pretty common this time of year, but he had seen some pretty mean strains so far. That's what I wanted to share... that, apparently, a mean strain of croup circulating around this winter.
Avatar f tn My little princess is 3 months old now and this morning i took her to the doc because she had a terrible cough. Come to find out she has croup which then let to bronchitis. She has been put on steroids to help her but i feel so bad for her. Other than steam or taking her outside when she has a coughing fit there's nothing i can do for her. Breaks my heart. She is my fourth and none of my boys had it. So sad for her.
Avatar f tn When I was little I would get croup every winter. What would help me is my mom putting me in the bathroom with the shower running on hot and having me sit in the steam, or wrapping me in a blanket and sitting on the porch in the cold. It would help break up the mucus and she would pat my back so I would cough it up. It might be worth trying if this every happens to your daughter again.
568659 tn?1256139982 Noah got croup over the weekend and I cant remember if that is something that he needs to go to the doctor for or if it should clear up on it's own. I have been doing the hot shower thing and taking him out in the cold air. I also have a humidifier in his room and I have been giving him chamomile tea with honey but he seems to be getting worse. What do you ladies think?
Avatar f tn The next morning at 5am he was gasping for air. When I called the ped. she told that he had croup and to put him under a steam shower for 20 minutes. After about 10-15 minutes the breathing was better. When we went to the docter, he had an ear infection in each ear and sinusitus. She gave him antibiotics. After he took the med. for the 10 days,he still had a bad cough for a long time that wouldn't go away, and he was having coughing fits. When he was rechecked he had bronchitis.
Avatar n tn Thanks for reponding, My nephew kept coming down with Croup, He has had it 4 or 5 times. They did the initial MRI to see if he had anything wrong with his throat that would cause the Croup to come back so frequently. The doctors stated that it was due to Acid Reflux. Now if that is true, I"m not sure.
Avatar f tn I have been on prednisone for 10 yrs, currently on 5mg in am, and 2 mgs at night. I was taken off immuran in June due to hospitalization for pancytopenia. First time this respiratory failure occurred, I was on Methotrexate, the second time I was on Immuran. My ANA was positive and my titer was 1:320, and the ANA pattern was nucleolar in 1998. I looked up Sarcoidosis and I fit the ethnic group, and the sx seem to fit me, but noone has ever said I have enlarged lymph nodes on CT or CXR.
Avatar n tn Since last year starting kindergarten he has had croup, or RAD every 2-3 weeks. Whenever he catches a cold or gets a runny nose we know he will end up at pediatrician or ER eventially, and be prescribed predisolone (along with his usual mediacations singulair, pulmicort, and xopenex). He always ends up on predisolone, or decadron, even at the ER ephedrine (neb). He has had his tonsils and adenoids removed.
Avatar f tn Yes honey my son had croup and it made his cough calm down so much. He only had the croup cough for 3 days which usually last more like a week.
Avatar f tn 2 bouts with adult onset Croup, (currently on prednisone), 3 optical migraines, an emergency root canal on the 7th and then to top off last week, my ribs started slipping out of place again (Tietze's Syndrome). Now for this week...to go with my newly found lump (Monday), and my wonderful Croup, my blasted PVC's are rearing their ugly head every morning when I get up and start moving around. At this point, the only thing keeping me going is my faith.....
Avatar n tn Definitely see her doc about a controller med such as pulmicort or ask about a short course oral steroid to get control of this episode and then start a daily preventative. You should also ask about croup (given the fever and the difficulty breathing at night), especially if you notice a barking cough or stridor when she breathes. My 3 yr old has asthma and sometimes he gets in these stages where the albuterol (rescue med) doesn't help and only oral steroids do the trick.
Avatar n tn I have a 1 year old that was born 10 weeks prem with a defect in her airway. I have an ENT surgeon, a pediatrician, a speech pathologist, audiologist, pulmologist, respirologist, occupational therapist, and another speech pathologist for swallowing. the problem lies with too many doctors and too many ideas. She was born with an extra broncial (hope that is spelled right) tube that doesn't fully attach to her lungs. so, when she was born, her airway was obstructed by 90%...
Avatar n tn - Recurrent croup with any virus or bacteria, even a common cold since he was 6 months old. We end up at A&E about 5 times a year especially in the winter months. Sometimes the nebulisers work and other times he's had to have adrenaline and he also had to be intubated once in December 2018.
Avatar f tn He had his tonsils and adnoids removed in the spring in an effort to stop the Croup. Ten days later he had Croup. He had Croup this September for 4 1/2 weeks, it just wouldn't go away. Then he had a sinus infection (so they say) then Bronchitis again. During his bronchoscope they too said he had Innominate Artery Compression of 10-15%. He failed his PFT really bad. I think the numbers were 115 input and 72 out put.
467126 tn?1283144858 Just found out that my daughter contracted "croup" during her last visits to the pediatrician. I hate to see her suffer and the doc prescribed her some steroids...for 3 days...do any mothers have had to face this kind of thing with their child? and what did you do ?
Avatar f tn Most cases are a virus , other causes can be bacteria and allergy also acid reflux..what has the doctor to say about it ?
168348 tn?1379357075 t cause her any harm this time, but next time we know to do it 1-2-3 and not think twice. She has a bad case of croup .. that is where the airway constricted ... so now she is on mega prednisone and Benadryl ev. 6 hrs (50mgs) .. today she is very sore all over (meds plus the tenseness from the episode) .. the ER doc was great but really lashed into me for not using the Epi Pen ..... sooooo knowledge is great if it is employed ...
Avatar f tn In October, my daughter turned blue and could not breath, I called 911, the hosp. diagnosed her with the Croup Virus. I was told to take her home, keep a close eye and that it was a virus so there is no medical treatment. They told me about the moist air (cold air outside, steaming shower, humidifier ect.) Over a week, it disappeared.. I am now found with complications again. She started out with a stuffy nose, and a small cough..
