[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry—one last tip. My son’s cough mostly presented at night so a lot of the specialists blew me off as an anxious mom. However, I took some videos of him coughing at night for a few nights and then they started paying more attention.

If your child is falling off the growth chart or losing eight or not growing, that’s another data point you should empathize every time too. Good luck! This can be so stressful.[/quote]

Thank you so much. Sorry to hear you went thru the same thing, but it's a relief to know I'm not crazy over here. I feel like the docs just won't take me seriously.

It's a good idea to record the night cough, it's definitely worse at night. So far she is not losing weight (big for her age).

We saw an ENT on 3/12 and DD was very congested so they gave us meds and we go back on 4/5. Have a June appt for a pulmonologist but hoping we can get off a waitlist for something sooner. The ENT said we should look at adenoids. DD is also very susceptible to hiccups and I wonder if she has narrowing. I'll raise asthma when we go back on the 5th.[/quote]
