306245 tn?1244384967 This latter would require either a cardiac shunt from right to left or other lung disease superimposed on his asthma. It appears that some of his problems have been resolved, in whole or part, including his congenital heart disease. You have described wheezing. If his pulmonologist does not believe that he has asthma, to what does he/she attribute the wheezing?
Avatar n tn He was okay to come home then he was 5 weeks old and got really ill with the RSV and was in the hospital and then heart failure then the surgery then infection and more illness. he does have pulmomary issues partly because my hubby has asthma and the ithers they are saying is from bing on a ventilator at such a young age. Please make sure he gets the synagisis shot.(it helps lesson the rsv in a child with a heart issue and premature babies.
Avatar f tn He could also have acquired some bronchiectasis, which is lung damage to severe lung infections. The damaged areas are good breeding grounds for bacteria, which can perpetuate more infections and more lung damage. It becomes like a vicious cycle. It is important to get a proper diagnosis, so that he can get the right treatment. With good treatment his quality of life will improve.
Avatar f tn I took my 4 week old to the ER and they told me he has RSV. They just gave me a paper on it, They didn't really tell me what to do except suction out his nose. I read the paper ad it told me that in mild disease that no specific treatment is necessary. So I guess he is only a mild case, but I don't know how to tell if he is getting worse. I read on another site that family history of asthma puts him at a higher risk for becoming a severe case. I am know wen he is getting worse?
Avatar f tn He has pneumonia every other month (since birth), he has also had bronchiolitis (without RSV), bronchitis, H1N1, and most currently RSV. When he was two we removed his tonsil and adenoids in hopes to help his asthma symptoms. While it did decrease the amount of sinus infections he had, it did nothing to help any other area. He is on Advair, 115/21 two puffs twice daily, and Allegra (for unknown allergies).
Avatar f tn It would be important to know if the pneumonias have always occurred in the same portion of lung; if so, that would suggest the existence of some type of congenital lung structure abnormality, with poor mucous drainage/clearance, that has predisposed him to recurrent infection. I suspect that his pediatrician has already checked for lung diseases such as CF, bronchomalacia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, bronchiectasis and for inherited and acquired immunodeficiency states.
Avatar f tn My dr think my little girl will be here between 32-37 weeks..
Avatar m tn To add more specificity--- his last overnight study was 1 week ago and he spent 85% of the time at o2 sats between 90-93, and 14% of the time between 80-89%, but all of that time was actually spent between 80-85 and 1% of the time below 80%. This is consistent with his other 3 studies and his hospital overnight. I have an older child with significant chronic lung disease and asthma so I'm well-versed in using pulse-ox machines for accurate results on wiggly infants.
Avatar f tn RSV is a resportory disease that starts as a common cold and then starts to shot down the resportory system very scary. We finally found out what it was that my daughter had. She had strep in the stomach and intestines. Instead of the strep staying in her throat she swallowed it. She got worse that ever after I posted this, so I brought her to a different hospital and they figured it out. thanks for responding.
Avatar f tn Neg strep and throat culture. I do not think this is viral related. We will be see a infectious disease doctor soon but the wait is awful.
Avatar f tn She stayed in ICU on a ventilator for 11 days. During that time she had a chest tube put into her left lung for a hole that showed up and fluid retention. She had congestive heart failure with fluid retention in arma and legs and both lungs. She had pneumonia, rsv and mersa in her kidneys and lungs. She was malnurioushed and the diabetes was acting up. She ended up with a thorancentesis on her right lung which removed 2 ltrs of fluid. Now we are on day 23 and she is in ltac.

Avatar n tn My son is going to be 2 months old soon and a couple of days after he was born they told me he has RSV, i have been in and out of the hospital so many times and he dose not seem to be getting any better. I have read everybody stories and How they lost their loved ones and i am so scared that it might happen to my son. Please is there anything that i can do to prevent this from getting worse???
593530 tn?1263847957 I brought Brody to his pediatrician last week because he was very congested. After a nose swab was tested it was determined that he has RSV. Since it's a virus it can't be treated with antibiotics, so she instructed me to get a cool mist humidifier and keep his nasal pasages clear by using saline solution. The only symptom he's had is the congestion. There's no fever, coughing, mucous coming out, etc.
1368291 tn?1299629804 Saturday he was having lots of nasal congestion and coughing so I took him to the ER. He tested positive for RSV so the last few days have been scary. We are doing a cool mist humidifier with eucalyptus oil at night, albuterol breathing treatments and keeping his nose suctioned out. I hope he gets better soon but I did learn that apparently you cant trust family to let you know...
Avatar f tn The cyst on your back is not related to the pneumonia unless it formed a track containing puss to the lung from the back. If you still have symptoms of pneumonia, please see a lung specialist - a Pulmonologist. They will order a CT of the lungs to look closer within the soft tissues and ask them to order Lung Function Testing to see if you are breathing adequately and have good lung capacity.
Avatar f tn millie had 6 blood transfusions during her stay in hospital they say it is very common for prems to need platelets because they are not fully matured they are slow at making blood, when millie got near my due date her body seemed to start working for itself, apart from having chronic lung disease she is doing well. good luck with your little one i hope everything goes well!
Avatar f tn hi, my name is lesley i'm 42 and live in the uk, in feb 2008 i took ill with what the dr's thought to be a chest infection i was put on long term antibiotics, which never worked from feb onwards my condition got worse quite quickly until august 08 i was admitted into hospital, where i was told i may have a lung disease or chronic asthma, i had several bronchoscopy's done from that date onwards, and was discharged from hospital not knowing all the facts of what was happening, followin
Avatar f tn He did a spirometry test which turns out was abnormal or showed that I have restricted lung disease. I went for a chest xray which turned out to be normal. I do however notice that if I burp it releaves that feeling of not enough air. I have a appointment with a pulmonologist in a couple weeks. I was just wondering if anyone has had this experience or what the chances are that I have a fibrosis disease?

Avatar f tn A heart echocardiogram revealed “minor” right heart thickening (doctor said it was normal with hypertension) and a lung function with revealed minor restrictive lung disease. His blood pressure is controlled with medication. My husband is literally not able to walk more than 15-20 feet without giving out of breath, needing to sit down. Up until 3 weeks ago, he was extremely active walking/running daily. He is not able to eat without taking several breaks to just catch his breath.
