QUESTION! bluegingham March 23 2007, 14:09:41 UTC

Nate woke up with a 'croup' sounding cough. I have a bit of chest congestion too. Do I start him on albuterol right away? Or do I take him back into the ped for her to tell us to start on it again?

If it were Ava, I would start it immediately. We have been told to do this at the first sign of a cough. The steroids aren't that potent in the inhaled varieties, so it really can only help him with his cough. If it continues more than a day, I would def. take him in though...he sounds like he gets a lot of the same things as ava.

Good luck!!!!! Hope he feels better soon!!
