Trouble Breathing/Raspy Sound

Hi! My DS is 14 months old and he's had a slight cough (mostly at night) for about two weeks now. He's also gone off his food, has very bad diaahorea (sp?) and has been extremely clingy/sooky over the last 10 days. This morning he's woken up with a very raspy sound when he breathes and it seems to be a little hard for him to breath plus he has a heavy/chesty cough this morning. Should I be worried? Being a Saturday there aren't many doctors that are open and it's not even 7 am yet anyway...

If I had such a bad cough & raspy breathing I'd just put up with it but I don't know what to do about my little man...

Any ideas?? Thanks in advance! :)

Personally I'd go to the hospital. They'll proly take you right in so you won't have to wait too long and its better to be safe than sorry. I hope he's alright.

Sherie,

How is your DS today?

Hi Christie

He's still got his horrible cough but the doctor said that it is most likely the end of a virual infection because his chest is all clear etc. :) He hasn't had any more weezey breathing so that's good, he must have just been really clogged up yesterday morning.

Thanks for asking! :)
