Answer 1

You really need to take your baby to the doctor or to the ER ASAP. Could be anything from asthma, RSV, pneumonia....etc. The long-short of it is that he is not getting enough oxygen which could kill him. Do something NOW!

Answer 2

Has your baby always had these symptoms? Or is this something new? Either way, take your baby to the hospital right away. These symptoms could indicate a serious infection, lung or heart disease, or any other number of things, and your baby's life may be at risk. My daughter was born "healthy" but lost 2 pounds the first week of life, so they re-hospitalized her at 8 days old. Over the course of the next week, they discovered that her problems went way beyond weight loss. She lost the ability to breathe on her own and had to be put on a vent at 2 weeks old. They checked all her body systems very carefully trying to find a cause. They could find nothing. Finally, stuff started showing up on x-ray, and when they did a CT of her chest, it showed very severe damage. They ended up doing an open lung biopsy hoping to find the cause as that would be her "only hope." No cause was ever identified, but the biopsy showed diffuse alveolar damage. They still don't know why it happened, but she now has interstitial lung disease. She did manage to survive the vent (thanks to some answered prayers, some brilliant physicians, and amazing determination on the part of my girl), but she is still affected by the ILD. She has the symptoms you mentioned above chronically, and she is still on oxygen at 12 months old. But for a normal baby, these symptoms are not normal. Your little one is at risk. Please take him to the doctor ASAP. I wish you the best.

Answer 3

I am guessing that it could be an allergy since she starts flaring back up when you take her home or she could be fine since you have had her checked out. Some things to try at home: don't have windows open if there is a possibility of pollen allergy, keep the place dusted and vacuumed. Vacuum away from the baby toward the open door; don't use flowery floor powders on the carpet. Don't use too much detergent when washing her clothes; flowery smelling clothes could aggravate allergies. If you have any flowers or potpourri in her room, remove them. Does she have a pediatrician? Just keep an eye on her as grunting by a baby is normal and sometimes they will sneeze, wheeze, and cough when their nose needs to be cleaned.

Answer 4

If there is no fever, in emergency you can give mouth-moth respiration. Also the baby can be held upside down and gentle thumbs can be given. Though effective, the best alternative is to inform on emergency medical number and then try these two first-aid methods.

Answer 5

well, unless you want the baby to stop breathing altogether, you should take it to a hospital or a doctor! NOW! Get off the damn computer & take care of the kid!
Blue nails mean cyanosis, not enough oxygen in his system.
You should be charged with child abuse letting it go on while you play on the computer...

Answer 6

Rush him to your family Doctor.Get him diagonised. Was he born healthy ? During these 75 days did he eat well, drink water, sleep, cry, ,urinate, pass stools, etc ?? Where do you live ? Does someone in the house smoke ?? Or your house does not have proper ventilation ? Do you make him bathe in cold water or warm/hot water ?? During night do you cover him with mosquito net ?? so many questions to be answered by you.In that lies your solution.But first things first. Rush him to your Family Doctor.

Answer 8
