Bronchiolitis- 6m old

1 reply

My 6mo has bronchiolitis since last weekend with a hacking chesty cough and very blocked nose. Been reviewed in urgent care twice for breathlessness but discharged very quickly as oxygen sats and resp rate all fine.

He just can’t lie down at night because obviously everything sits on his chest and he wakes himself coughing. We’ve raised the end of the next2me, nasal saline, calpol, calpol plug in etc - nothings helping apart from him sleeping upright on us. It’s awful seeing him struggling so much and absolute torture for us in terms of lack of sleep.

anyone got any words of wisdom / tips for surviving? I feel like I’m on the verge of going crazy from the sleep deprivation

I put mine of their sides to sleep when they had colds which helped a little. And day naps more upright in the pram parked up in the hall so I could nap on the sofa. Hope he’s better soon!
