Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 My 4 1/2 year old son started coughing last night and it lasted all through the night. Well he woke up with spots all over his face(broken blood vessels) & is still coughing & breating a little heavy. I guess I get so freked out becuase he has only had one vaccine(DTaP at 2 months & had a horrible reaction). Does anyone have any advice on what he could be going through. I guess I'm always worried someone will say I told ya so you should have vaxed him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 Have you tried a humidifier and having him sit up? Also don’t do regular dairy.. vaccines aren’t a cure-all. If you did vaccinate, he’d still get sick and he might even have been sicker than if you don’t.. it seems to me that parents who don’t vax worry more and seem to forget that vaxxed kids still get sick. A lot more. Vaccines and formula, are imo, the open invite for germs to just bombard little bodies. Talk to a homeopath and see if there’s anything you can give that will help. Of course at some point you’re going to have someone say ‘well you should have vaxxed’…. That mistaken notion runs very deep in our minds and in society. However, it is not true. The best thing you can do is to not vax. The doctors will not be able to tell you if your child will be “OK” or if he’ll get damage.. no one can answer that til the deed is done. It’s not worth the risk to me. Jon and and (w/o me knowing) got cp. ..maybe not .. but probably. Jon and did when it first came out and I was pregnant with .. I roll my eyes and kick myself now. I actually ASKED them if they can give it…thinking, like everyone else, that vaccines protect. But when we nonvaxxers get worried that “maybe we should have vaxxed”.. have faith in your gut and in your decision. You can’t keep 2nd guessing yourself, you’ll go batty doing it. Like dh tells me, you can’t keep being wishy-washy. Well I’m not on all my decisions….vaxxing is one that I’m absolutely sealed in stone sure on.. I WILL NOT vax and I will not ever be 2nd guessing myself. Keep learning until you are firmly convinced one way or the other. You can’t be divided. I’d go for calling my homeopath and giving some remedy and keeping them in til I knew what the source was. Maybe even make some chicken soup and have them rest for a day.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 I agree, Nita. I think we non-vaxers worry more about because we don't depend on the ped to do our thinking for us. It's on us to be the detectives and it's all " on the job training. " That's why groups like this are so helpful. When you're in the middle of it, it's easy to forget such basics as a humidifier or no dairy. Good advice!

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 My closest is 90 miles away. We’ve talked on the phone so far. Also, because I have the 50 remedy kit from Washington homeopathics, I have not had to buy extra remedies yet Nita (crew chief) and the crew: 15, Jon 13, 11, 9, 6, Christian (7/16/03 to 8/22/04), 2 and Isaac, 2/3/08 HYPERLINK " http://momof6.dotphoto.com " http://momof6.dotphoto.com for not necessarily current pictures Learn from the mistakes of others.

There is a coughing thing that's been hitting many many people he is better able to handle anything because he has had few vaccines I am 2 days behind on email so will see if anyone else has helped you Sheri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
