Child Has Frequent Chest Infections. Taking Antibiotics And Steroids. Crying Continuously
My son was 8wks premature n has frequent chest infections he has one at present and is on an antibotic and started steriods today aswell plus he was put on nebuliser today aswell but from dinner time he hasnt stopped crying and wont sleep wich is very unlike him should I be worried.. He is on regular inhalers for his chest.
Premature children tend to get more infections and have to be treated. As their air passages are small any chest infection tends to reduce them further for which nebulizer is being given.
Just ensure a comfortable environment for your child. See that he is not over clothted which may be the reason for his excessive crying. In case he does not become comfortable with this management then it is always better to seek an expert's opinion.
I hope I have answered your query to your satisfaction.
