Could Elevated Ammonia Be A Matter Of Concern While Suffering With Cold?
my 3 month old daughter was brought to hosp by ambulance 3 weeks ago because she was unresponsive. they did lots of testing and found out that her ammonia and white blood count were elevated. she was fine 2 days later. i also have 2 older children and one had a cold over th weekend. she ended up catching the cold. i have been speaking to her dr and she said not to worry as long as its just the cold. my question is what could happen if her ammonia level is still elevated since it was only 3 weeks ago and now she has a cold? she is fine and i know what to look for but i cant even sleep im so scared because of what happened last time.

Hi...elevated ammonia can occur in urea cycle disorder. But your doctor was right. You need not worry as long as it's just common cold.
As you said you know what to look for, I am not elaborating on them.
