Dd2 has now been sick on and off since early March. She has had colds and tonsillitis which included a course of antibiotics as she had it for over 10 days with no improvement.
She has now had a cold for 10 days, has had 3 doctor visits and each time they say chest is clear, throat and ears are a little red but just keep up what I'm doing. Dd does not seem to be improving!!! She is so blocked and congested. She is exhausted due to her interrupted sleep as she can't breathe through her nose, when she is awake her nose is like a tap and her breathing sounds like sitting next to a purring kitten! I've had her taking neurofen and Panadol for 10 days, I'm using saline nose drops and sucking out about 3-4 times a day which she hates but I'm getting very decent quantities out only for her to be blocked again within 15 mins. I have Vicks vaporizer going in the bedroom.
She is teething with her first two teeth finally breaking through about 2 weeks ago and she is almost 11 months old so they are late and the dr has said the rest are all sitting waiting to come up, he could feel the sharp tips of them through her gums. The two bottom teeth are still only about 2mm out of the gum, they are not even all the way up. The Panadol and neurofen were causing her to have a sore belly and constipation which I've solved with some coloxyl but she also has a red sore bottom due to #2's which are prob caused by the teething so she is either constipated or getting nappy rash.. Cannot win!
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can possibly help her to get better faster??? It's terrible seeing her like this and it not getting any better.
