My DD is 6 months old and we've had ongoing issues with her since about 10 weeks when we noticed a cough. I don't expect any diagnosis but I guess a little support and reassurance, alongside any thoughts and experiences about what we might be looking at.
There are lots of things the symptoms point towards and have been suggested by some of the many doctors we've seen along the way such as asthma, reflux disease or lung disease for example but we've not yet had our appointment with the respiratory specialist which is booked for dec.
Her symptoms on a daily basis are coughing, often just dry, random wheezing which is also brought on when distressed or out of breath, which can happen easily after being on her tummy and therefore preventing much development. She has chest recessions at all times, which the doctors say as this is normal for her it's not concerning on its own. Her breathing is often fast and she grunts most of the time, almost like she holds her breath for a second before breathing out. She has coughing fits which can lead to wretching and being very sick every day or two.
She gets worse with a cold and was admitted to hospital with bronchialitis needing support to breath and feed through a tube. From this they have done a cf test, blood test looking at immunity and a chest x-ray, nothing heard back yet on these so presuming nothing urgent to address, and to discuss further at the respiratory appt. there has been many doctors mention a murmur but the experts say its a flow murmur and nothing to worry about, we've pushed for an echo anyway and having this is a few weeks.
She has now started to feed less, taking about 450mls in 24 hours, yet she is 12lb. She sleeps well however and is mostly a happy baby.
Anyone else have anything similar and what were their experiences with any specialists, or things that they found helped? THANKS!!
