question:My grandson is 12 years old and has asthma. Last year he missed 30 days of school because of cough. He was only in school one week and began coughing Friday and is still coughing today and will miss school again tomorrow. Friday the doctor said that it was a virus and gave him an antibiotic, cough syrup and a steroid nose spray. Yesterday, his regular doctor said that he has an upper respiratory infection and gave him prednisone and lidocane for his throat. He says that he has a very sensitive nerve in his throat that triggers the cough. He says another child would probably not even have this cough. There have been many times that this doctor has said that he has a tic. He went all summer out of school and only had a cough onetime and it only lasted 3 days. His regular doctor did send him to a neurologist one time but, nothing ever came of it. We are at our wits end. Please help.
answer:Probably he is asthamatic and many drugs have been given including antibiotics,steroids bronchodialotrs ,probably this has caused reflux oesophagits which is causing him irratable cough .please give antacids before giving food and medicines
question:My 2 month old farted and clear liquid came out then yellow seedy poop. She s been pooping while farting and they are runny, first green now yellow. She is breast fed and formula fed. Should I be concerned? No fever and acting normal, except her stomach makes noises, but it doesn t upset her.
answer:Hello. I just read through your question. At this age, bowel movements can take many forms and still be normal. As long as she is comfortable and gaining appropriate weight, it is not a concern. You can continue feeding as you have been and not worry.
question:When my 3 month old son poops it goes up his back. The poop is green color nd kinda runny. He just started doing it on the 3rd of September and he poops everyday now and all of his poops are like this. Then today he pooped a second time and the color of his poop was yellow. Is there something I should be worried about because I am a first time parent and do not know a lot of things.
answer:Hello. I just read through your question. At this age, bowel movements can take many forma and produce different colors. The only color that could potentially be a concern is red. As long as you don't see red and he is otherwise comfortable and gaining appropriate weight, there is no need for concern. You can continue to feed as you have been without worry.
