chest congestion for infants

You can even use it on infants. Lots of clear fluids to help break up the chest congestion aswell, maybe even a warm wash cloth on his chest. My kids are very sensitive to laundry detergants and softners, so thats a possability. Has he had any immunizations lately? If so Id call his doc or ped. Could be a reaction. Aveeno Baby lotion non scented works VERY well for dry skin, I use it on myself and my children, I get the scent free one, and it hydrates for 24 hrs. Hope he feels better soon!

I hope you are getting some relief from your chest congestion. Mucus is like poison to the lungs and it must be released for both the sake of your health and your comfort! A natural mucokinetic is found in salt therapy. You should either breathe in the steam from a saline solution with your head tented over a bowl (the economic alternative) or check out the salt pipe inhalers (dry salt inhalation therapy) at: http://www.saltrocks.

Had a chest x-ray, said the words heaviness in the chest, so went for stress test, etc for the heart. All is great. 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 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.

I had similar issues with Lexi. Her pediatrician said its normal to hear that congestion in their chests as newborns and infants and didn't bat and eyelash. She's ten months old now and still has it. she has allergies so she does take liquid zyrtec now, but I haven't noticed a difference. As for the constipation, we gave Lexi one ounce of prune juice and one half of a pediatric glycerine suppository.

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?

) I visited our health food store and asked him what was the best of anything he had for severe chest congestion........and he recommended the following. fenugreek seed tea..by 'celebration herbals NY'...I seep it for 12 min than drink 3 cups a day. every heard of it? well I'm on my second cup and last for tonight, will let you know if it works at all.

I work in PEDS and for infants under 1 month old we always give 0.3ml and for 2-3 months 0.4ml.......But certainly call your MD to confirm.....Hope the baby is feeling better.

Here is my original post where there might be some helpful information for you. My theory is that the trigger for the irregular breathing and involuntary spasms is ALLERGIES. http://www.medhelp.

Sometimes doctors hear a heart murmur because of the thick chest wall that infants have. Sometimes there is nothing wrong with the heart valves, it is just the thick chest wall. Infants sometimes outgrow a heart murmur due to the fact that they are still growing and changing. Most likely the doctor will monitor the heart murmur. Wondering if you are pregnant and found out some news during your ultrasound?

I have these same issues. I take an omeprazole every morning, seems to do well for me throughout the day, but in the A.M. for the last 3 months the congestion has gotten worse... If it is reflux shouldn't the omeprazole help me? Can anything be done to lessen or prevent this from occuring?

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.

My mom has had really bad chest congestion and coughing for about 3 weeks now. She also has some chest tightness. She sounded terrible today when I called her.
