RE: ANOTHER COUGH-

[Guest guest]

,

She is on flucloxacillin for 3 weeks at the moment so I am hoping that

will cover any sinus infection. We have been doing physio 4x day and

she is starting to cough better (if there is such a thing). Her voice

sounds deeper than usual.

She looked exhausted today but it was 42c/105f outside our house today

so we are all exhausted. So she had extra salt on everything today.

Re: ANOTHER COUGH

,

post nasal drip from the sinus can cause coughing. could she have a

sinus infection? or it could be allergy related?

ANOTHER COUGH

I cant believe it, 10 days post IV's and Eilish is starting a cough.

I

know nothing was growing. Her voice sounds 'thick' and her cough

sounds

upper airways. I know my sinuses has been bad these past few days so

maybe its that with her. Can a cough be caused by a sinus problem?

She

has clinic Monday and hopefully it will all settle before then. I'll

scream if they let her out to early and we have to start IV's again.

I

tried to call the hsp. to ask what to give her to clear up sinus

problems, but the pulmonary registrar on duty I refuse to talk to

unless

a emergency so I will call back tomorrow and speak with one of the

others. Eilish is a very good little nurse I had to get her to put

drops in my eyes as I couldn't do it myself and no one else was here.

She did a great job and I think she loved being the doer not the one

receiving meds. She was a Angel in there end of school play today.

Only 3 days left till for our school for this school year and ours

don't

go back till 2nd February. So if by mid January I have gone bonkers

that's why.

BARBARA-Is Kristy at High School yet? I hope all goes well for the

sinus surgery this week. Let us know what ward she is in.
