Default Justin is sick

So, Wednesday night when I was putting Justin (3 mos) I noticed that he was acting weird but didn't think much of it. Well, then yesterday he started with a cough that sounded like sort of like croup. By last night, he was having coughing fits so bad it sounded like he was having trouble breathing . I called a friend to bring us to urgent care. The Dr. there said I there was nothing wrong with his lungs but offered some drugs. She said she could give him a nebulizer ( I kinda wish she would've) or amoxcicillin. But,this morning he was up at 4 coughing so hard it sounded like he was gonna cough out his lung. I have an appt with reg dr today at 2:30 so I'm bringin him with me so she can check him out. The thing I am worried about is that he is not eating?

So quick update on Justin. I took him with me to the Dr. yesterday. She gave him a nebulizer. He seems to be doing much better with the nebbie and amoxcicillin. He is actually eating now and seems to be in much better spirits.

So, another update to Justin. He is feeling somewhat better. He is still having horrible coughing spells. Sometimes he coughs so hard, I start to think he's going to vomit. He is still wanting to sleep all the time. And, when he's awake it seems like all he wants to do is cuddle. ( Which I don't mind.) I am hoping he feels better by this weekend though.

Sounds like what Kat did, she used a nebbie and her inhaler they were life savers! The year she was like that was very very long. Glad your little man is feeling better

Please, please take him back to the doctors.I would not be happy at all if he is coughing badly and is lethargic.If the cough sounds like a bark then croup is possible.. If it affects his breathing in any way rush him to the emergency room.I wouldn't wait for that though.At 3 months you can't be too careful!!
