Re: any advice on re acuring chest infection

[Guest guest]

Oh Rita-

For our son he was one long running upper respiratory infection from birth

through age 4. It was primarily due to his very poor swallow - poor love was

always drowning in his oral and nasal secretions, and he had horrible reflux as

well. Our experience might not relate to yours. Airborne things - like garden

leaf blowers, dry sand in the air and things like that did affect -

especially the California Santa Ana hot dry winds. Household dust on surfaces

and pet hair did not. Sawdust (like in a circus tent) that is being pounded

into the air by trampling hooves awas also bad. lol!

It does get better and easier, and the infections fewer, less dire, and further

between....

Hang in there-

best,

yuka

any advice on re acuring chest infection

exuse my spelling i cant spell , ha ha im just after some advice about

why caitlyn gets so many chest infections one after another i have 3

dogs that caitlyn wont stay away from crawling all over and trying to

climb the stairs my dogs stay in the kitchen only so we try and make

her stay away cos dog hairs will not be good for her i also have a

guinea pig that has just had 5 babys i dont use hay when caitlyns

cold i think she swallows the snottys and because everything goes to

her lungs it causes a chest infection any advice about how to minimize

the risk of chest infections ie i dust just before caitlyn comes to

Rita,

we went through the same thing with .. 19 hospitalizations before he was

2..

They kept saying that it was his immune system, which really did suck..

But it was a pumonologist that finally figured it out when he did a

brochioscopy... had REALLY narrow bronchial tube (30% of

normal on one side 15% on the other.. They at one time actually thought

to do surgery to dialate them but decided to wait and see how he grew.

He did and it's not a problerm now. He had all the allergy testing and

was allergic to none of the commen allergens.

Another reason could be reflux..

Casey
