Guest guest Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Lilly (my 6 month old) has had a swollen lymph node on the right side of her neck. In addition the past several nights she's woken up with severe nasal congestion. It makes a rattling sound. I brought her into bed with me and felt her back and it was rattling down by her lungs too. She coughs and sneezes occasionally in the evening and at night. During the day she has none of these symptoms. Her daycare provider and her children just came back from vacation and they all have colds. But Lilly wasn't with them last week so I didn't think it would be a cold. So I'm not sure what is going on. I'm concerned that she may be allergic to our dog. I'm allergic to him and take a nosespray. I've really slacked off on running the air purifiers and vacuuming every day like I usually do. He doesn't sleep in her room or anything but ocassionally goes in there to check on her (he just loves her and she loves him too). So I didn't have them around each other at all last night and her congestion was better, but she still woke up at 3:30 AM with congestion. I talked to her doctor who said it's pretty early for allergies to show up, they usually show up around 2 or 3. She thinks it's a cold. What do you think? Does your child have allergies? If so, how do you treat them? My husband and I already discussed taking out the carpet and putting hardwood floors in and limiting where the dog can go. I would just hate to get rid of him as we rescued him from a shelter and he's such a sweet dog. Do you have any ideas on how to work with this congestion? I'd appreciate any input.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 I have something similar going on right now. I went to my allopathic doctor this week who said I have a virus and allergies. Allowpathic doctors are often wrong in my opinion, but I go anyway since I do have insurance with alloopaths. My 25 year old daughter, 2 year old granddaughter and son-in-law in Arkansas have the same thing and it pretty much came on at the time that my problem came on in California. However, now that I'm starting to feel a little better I've been doing deep dusting, vacuuming and cleaning in general to get rid of anything that might be allergenic. I think it is a virus, although I do have allergies. Mine is slowly starting to get better. Hope your baby is feeling better. I love her name too as that is my sister's name (she is 69) and I love her so much.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Make an appointment with a reputable naturopath or kinesiologist before you get too many 'thought' irons in the fire! You need a professional diagnosis. My guess for now from your story is a cold . . .
