Good morning mama's, pls don't iignore I will appreciate anything,
My lo, 2mths today is having cough and catarrh. We have been to d hospital nd de gave us drugs, Still no improvement, his nose is blocked, breathing is big issue and to sleep nau is a big luxury. Dont even know how to do steaming for him. Am just so worried sick, please oo.

Try steam inhalation for him(mentholatum or Eucalyptus oil) , apply mentholatum on his body(chest, back, sides, feet). You can eat food or fruits that contains enough vitamin so you can pass it through bm.

Sorry is the weather, even my daughter is having catarrh too.

Liftedhands:
Vitamin c was what was my son was given when he had terrible cold at 2 months! I used Shea butter to unblock his nostrils.

You can massage him with warm water or ask someone more experienced to do that for you.
Keep your baby warm and well hydrated.

Cpm was later added when the cold returned weeks later! But he was 3 months old by then.

Vitamin c is among his drugs, 2.5ml 2xdaily. Have used Shea butter on the nose, yet it's still clogged. Don't know wat else to do

hunniesuzie:
To steam set a bowl/bucket of steaming water on the floor, sit on a stool with your LO on your lap near the water. Get someone to cover both of you with a big sheet (or towel) You can put about 2 drops of eucalyptus oil in the water. Do it before bed and his nose will flow like tap.

Ok, wount it enter his eye? Hope silver bird is ok?

If you're scared of steam inhalation try massaging with warm water but steam inhalation will help to melt the catarrh since shea butter couldn't do it.

Silverbird is Eucalyptus oil.

Sorry dear, try to keep him warm.

Is it compulsory my lo takes pap?
I read how to prepare tom brown and I think its more better being that its same ingredients and it will come out in powder form instead of stressing on soaking, sieving and all.

Pap isn't compulsory
I started giving my son Tom Brown sparingly at 4 months

Sorry ma'am. My ds is having d same thing but i increased my fruits intake so he can suck(vit c)from d bm.

For the steaming,boil some water,pour into a small bucket or bowl,add like 2 drops of eucalyptus oil(silver bird),sit on a stool/edge of d bed,put your baby on your tighs(his back resting on u)&hold him firmly,
then let someone help put a blanket over both of u say for about 1-2mins!

So no mama here has had issue with breastmilk stain?? What is now in my own breastmilk that these stains wont just go I tire oo

Sometimes once cough or catarrh kicks in you can do nothing but manage it until it runs it's course. I've been giving my baby vit C syrup daily cuz they said it helps fight infections and I don't wanna experience that cough and catarrh again. Apart from the steam thing also keep him warm esp at night. If he's the sweaty type, dress him lightly then keep the room as warm as possible. It helps their breathing. You can also put a few drops of eucalyptus oil on a towel and place it close to him, it clears nose like magic then you can suck it/use mucus extractor from time to time to give him temporary relief.

Morning mamas, any idea of where to get 6 weeks rota vaccine at ibadan?

No clue oh, doubt it's breastmilk

lmao is it by force to have issue. Just kidding. I meant to reply that post dunno what happened. There was a time I experienced the same thing. I couldn't understand why there were black stains on face towels and I even thought MIL has started putting pko in my baby's mouth again. But it turned out to be just breastmilk. Don't even know why it happens cuz it doesn't happen everytime. Maybe it depends on what one eats. I put some detergent with one cap of hypo in a bucket of water then I soak overnight, usually takes out the stain or most of it

Hypo is not working for me. And now i have to throw some clothes away cuz seeing dt stain annoys me. I'll just buy more coloured clothes going forward till i stop seeing d stains. You think what i take in may be responsible for the stain?

It is not neccesary.

I never gave my dd pap when weaning her. I think she has taken pap a grand total of 3 times in her life, and never more than 3 - 5 spoons. She is 21months.

I really don't know. You said it might be something in your water but our own water is clean. The stains on mine look dark blue. Like gv. It drives me crazy and only happens once in a while. How long do you keep the clothes before washing tho. Do you wash as soon as they are dirty

Helovesme
For taking your time to write that long note to help coolniks with her fears about her child, I say God bless ma.

I dont wash them immediately tho, like after 3/4 days.

Is nitrazepam the same as diazepam?? And is normodipine the same nifedipine
If yes then my doctors stopped me from taking diazepam as soon as I gave birth, I also had to stop taking nifedipine because of the serious headache it give me...if you are taking there drugs because of high bp then we can share ideas because I already have something that is working for me..

Yes oo. Please help me. The headaches are excruciating. I feel like my head is falling away. Please please am waiting. I don't have help and I need to function for my kids. Thank you

Hyphee:


Lol @whether drops no dey enter bloodstream, I was always scared during immunization days cos ours was accompanied with swelling sef but thank God our 14 weeks own was better. I believe she must be fine now. Pele dear

Yes oo. We are strong again. Thanks for asking.

queenhecate:


Yes oo. Please help me. The headaches are excruciating. I feel like my head is falling away. Please please am waiting. I don't have help and I need to function for my kids. Thank you

For me what I did is to stop taking the nifedipine because I was not understanding why I shld go through all that headache in the name of bringing my blood pressure down, my husband went into deep research and found out that I can take lebatelol and lisinopril (my bp was very very high)....so right now my bp has dropped from 162/113 to 132/96, 130/90... lebatelol was prescribed to me from the general hospital here so I only added lisinopril...plz stop taking the nifedipine..

That is a fantastic result. I dread taking that med. It is terrible. Do you still take any sleeping meds?

Will go to the pharmacy this evening. God bless you so much
