Due Date Club December 2002:cold and cough to new born.
2003-01-04
Name: aarti dhaliwal



Hi gals,

Arshdeep is having too much cold and cough. I am really worried. Do you have any idea or any home ramedy for newborns.

We went to pediatrician for our first 2-week appointment. She said that just watch for 2-3 more days than take him to emergency (in case if its weekend). He could have RSV. But this thing happens to only premies, and he was full term baby.

Is it okay if i'll give him vicks steam? Its almost 5 days now he is having this. His chest makes sounds 'coz of mucus. I am really worried. Please help.

Any kind of help will be appriciated.

Thanks a lot.
Aarti.

Hey Aarti,
Arjun has a bit of cough in between his nose and chest. We took him to the pediatrician and she could not see any congestion. But we can definitely hear his cough - in newborns cough sound louder than normal. She suggested we use a humidifier in his room, use saline drops for blocked nose, feed him in the bathroom filled with steam etc.

Hi Sheel,
You can drink water but after one day of your delivery and it would be said by doctors also.You have to take care at that moment because after delivery of baby you would have lot of pain.... - Roja [View Message]
