Guest guest Posted June 19, 1999 Report Share Posted June 19, 1999 Kelsey will be 4 in sept. No we dont do the nasal washes. The cough seems to preseed the sinus infection so i assume it is a nasal drip cough. Will the onion help that? Amber to Amber > > >Thanks Amber, > >I forget, how old is Kelsey?

Guest guest Posted June 20, 1999 Report Share Posted June 20, 1999 The onion has been long used for all kinds of mucus. It certainly can't hurt. Zach was 4.5 when we started nasal washes. How is she with nasal sprays? The first thing that you can do is a nasal sray of plain old saline. Avali. at any drug store. Then if she can tolerate that, you may want to ask your dr about nasal washes. Do you see an ENT for this? Do you get cultures? There's also another product out there that we've found to help. It's a RX though. It's called Guaevent. You may want to ask you Dr. if this is something that he/she thinks may help Kelsey.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 1999 Report Share Posted July 15, 1999 Amber: loves and asks for the acidolphilis milk. He was on Bactrum for over 3 years and had chronic thrush from it. His oncologist ordered it with his hospital meals and told him it was his special milk. he drank it down and has loved it since. Whenever he starts any antibiotic, i buy half a gallon for him. It seems to work. --mom to Jake--dysgammaglobulinanemia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
