Excuse me if this is long
So DD has been poorly with her chest since 8 weeks old. On asthma meds. Allergy testing currently shows nothing. Paediatrician heard brochomalacia in her right lung but chest xray was clear. Has had chest infections her whole life. Is coughing so much she is sick. Fussy eater. Brittle nails. Lethargic and always looks poorly. V sweaty all the time. Auto immune has been mentioned. Loads of bloods have been done but nothing other than anemia has shown yet. Any advice. We've been referred to GOSH for lungs outpatients awaiting appointment

How old is she now? Was there any sign of reflux? Any hereditary problems in the wider family?

SweetieL96 · 21/09/2024 09:36

She's 3, they are querying some sort of reflux, she had colic as a baby but no reflux as far as I was aware.. there's a lot of health issues in the family.. allergies, asthma etc. Her auntie has lupus ans mentioned that to me as she has alot of the same symptoms

Reflux can cause chest infections and chestyness, so that’s why I asked.
Is she on any multivitamins, and does she have the flu spray every year?

Yes and yes ❤️
