Cameron had it for about 10 days, the worst days were probably 4 and 5 then she slowly started to get better and probably around day 10 she was back to normal.]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:17:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1171038&title=sick-baby#1171038 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1171032&title=sick-baby#1171032 Author: Jaxnz1

Thanks for that.
I've been giving Pamol every 4 hours and it seems to bring her temp down, it's more in the evenings that she's worse, probably just knackered. Have been watching for those symptoms Kicker, she was still drinking milk today and having wet nappies today.

We were told by the Dr that because bronchiolitis is a virus he couldn't give us anything for it. But i wonder if it is still bronchiolitis as I read that it only lasts 3-4 days
Will try and get her to the Dr first thing, don't want her taking medicine that makes her vomit everything up, otherwise she'll just become dehydrated.
I rang healthline last night, they were so helpful! Will definitely be ringing them again if need be. ]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 21:08:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1171032&title=sick-baby#1171032 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170996&title=sick-baby#1170996 Author: Kicker

My youngest had it about 3 weeks ago, she had the high temp and just slept all day and her feeds dropped to about 1/10 of what they were. We took her to the drs who sent us to starship, they just monitored her and said give her pamol and basically let her sleep it off. They said bring her back if she got worse, her feeds dropped more or she didnt have at least 2 wet nappies in a day.

Okay just found the discharge leaflet it says:

• bronchiolitis is caused by a virus and so antibiotics will not help
• paracetamol can be given to help reduce fever and/or keep your baby comfortable
• your baby will need as much rest as possible
• try and keep babies nostrils clear to help with breathing and feeding

Then goes on to say

YOU SHOULD SEEK HELP URGENTLY IF YOUR BABY IS GETTING WORSE WUTH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING

• Your baby's chest is sucked in as they breathe, and they are working hard to breathe
• There is any blueness around your baby's lips
• Your baby is very pale
• There is difficulty feeding (less than 1/2 of their usual feeds or not having at least 2 wet nappies a day)
• Your baby has a high temp

But in writing all that, it your baby and you know them best, if you are worried give the A&E a call and explain to them what is happening and they should give you some advise.]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:33:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170996&title=sick-baby#1170996 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170983&title=sick-baby#1170983 Author: Shezamumof3

Aww poor thing

My son had it at 16 months old, and it was awful I was so worried. We took him to the Dr as he was weezing and breathing fast, had a high temp and was just generally unwell. He was put on the nebulizer and that helped, but we ended up back at the Dr that night and then to the hospital.
They have him some stuff starting with P..umm prenizone?(lol its something like that anyways) and that helped heaps.

he got it again a few months later but not as bad, but I still took him to the dr and got him checked out.

Have they sent you home with some ventolin and a spacer? Thats what the hospital gave us, and we have it on hand nowdays just in case, as he still gets weezy sometimes with a cold.

Just try and keep her temp down, stagger pamol with nurofen, as i find nurofen works better at keeping the temp down and pamol helps more with the cold/flu symptoms, keep her fluids up and if you are really worried still then take her back to the Dr.

*hugs* Its scary when they are so sick for the first time huh ]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:24:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170983&title=sick-baby#1170983 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170976&title=sick-baby#1170976 Author: LJsmum

it is so worrying when they are unwell.
I find ringing health line helpful if i'm ever really worried and it's night time e.t.c to get reassurance and advice.
Have you given her pamol to bring the temp down?]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:21:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170976&title=sick-baby#1170976 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170975&title=sick-baby#1170975 Author: Kimnthekids

Our DD got it at about 4 months and we were close to being taken to hospital as she was struggling to breathe with it. If i was you id be keeping a close eye - trying to get that temp down and just checking it doesnt get worse by morning, If you're concerned you can always call the well child line 0800 611 116 And they are pretty good about giving advice over the phone (24 hours too!)]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:21:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170975&title=sick-baby#1170975 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170973&title=sick-baby#1170973 Author: myfullhouse

What is your gut telling you to do? I am possibly overcautious but I would probably take her to the A&E tonight, the worst that could happen is they say she is fine and you can have a relatively peaceful sleep. If you don't want to head off to the A&E then ring Healthline for advice
I hope she gets better soon.]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:20:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170973&title=sick-baby#1170973 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170966&title=sick-baby#1170966 Author: Jaxnz1

I'm so worried about DD, but not sure how worried I should be! She had bronchiolitis a few weeks ago and seemed to get over it, however yesterday she developed a high temp again and we had her at A&E with a temp of 39.4. Today she has seemed ok, but this evening was really lethargic and had a temp of 39.1 again.
The Dr gave us penicillin, however she keeps vomitting after taking it. So am going to try and get her to the Dr first thing tomorrow to see if we can get something else.

Anyone else had a baby with bronchiolitis and had it come back? I've heard alot of babies end up in hospital with it. The Dr said her chest is clear and it's all in her ears, nose and throat. Just not sure how worried I should be.....first time parent to a sick baby and all!! ]]> Wed, 06 Oct 2010 20:16:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36112&PID=1170966&title=sick-baby#1170966
