Suggest Treatment For Wheezing In An Infant
Question: my 12 month old is sick he was at the dr yesterday and Monday both visits o2 level was 91 and wheezing in his lung should his dr have did an rsv test.
Brief Answer:
Wheezing
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
Wheezing is a symtpom pediatricians see often. Though your doctor already did RSV testing, the approach will be the same whether this is RSV or not.
An O2 level of 91% consistently, should be treated with oxygen supplementation. Based in your child's exam, the doctor may also choose to use nebulizer treatments to help expand the constricted lungs. These treatments work well, but take time, often several days.
Be patient and give the treatment plan time to work and your son will get better.
