If you do not see any side effects count your blessings. We still do not know if that is the reason our 8 year old son (developmentall under 1) Has the problems he has. He is adopted and his mother tested hep B positive at birth so he was given I belive 2 mega hep B vacines plus I think a regular one also.

This is caused by a virus that is very common among children younger than 5.  The degrees of infection vary but can include fever, blisters in the mouth, on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.  It takes 5 to 7 days to run its course.

Has your doctor considered that she might have pneumonia?  Asthma?  Bronchitis?  I would take her back to the doctor and have him get a chest x-ray.  It is better to be safe than sorry.  It is coming in to the season for RSV.  RSV is like a cold for us but when infants and toddlers get this it is much worse for them.  My son had RSV, was in hospital for 5 days and then developed asthma from this, he is three now and still has to have breathing treatments at home every once in a while.  \n\nAlso, something to consider is reflux.  Reflux will make her cough as well.  Try holding her as upright as possible for at least 30 to 45 minutes after all bottles.  If this helps the coughing then you will know. \n\nI hope this information helps.  Make your doctor do something.  In the meantime try the last thing I said for a day or so.  But absolutely go back to the doctor.\n\nGood luck!!

Symptoms of pneumonia vary, depending on the age of the child and the cause of the pneumonia. Some common symptoms include: \n\nfever \nchills \ncough \nunusually rapid breathing \nbreathing with grunting or wheezing sounds \nlabored breathing that makes a child's rib muscles retract (when muscles under the rib cage or between ribs draw inward with each breath) \nvomiting \nchest pain \nabdominal pain \ndecreased activity \nloss of appetite (in older children) or poor feeding (in infants) \nin extreme cases, bluish or gray color of the lips and fingernails \n\nGo to a doctor- they will be able to let you know for definate. If you feel unable to work- I suggest you don't go- you might make yourself feel worse.\nHope you get better soon x

yes, I had this about 14 years ago...It was terrible!  like this really big cold and extreme cough.  You are so congested in your chest and lungs and you have no control over your coughs.  I would sit up in bed coughing like crazy and phlegm you just come out (sorry, not to be gross but that is happens).  Thank God I was old enough because if you catch this as a baby you have to check on them so they can breathe and not choke.  I cant remember exactly what I took as medecine but something was given to me to help.

THANK YOU, MORE_EVIL!!!!!! Finally, someone uses some common sense with their answer to an immunization question. They told me in the hospital they do it because they don't know if I had it or not, which was insulting considering I've been married to the same man for 13 yrs. I refused it. But, yes, they do give it, at birth, 2 months and 6 months. \n   For your question, something caused my cousin to die at 4 months, it was written off as SIDS, but she died within 48 hours of receiving shots. I'm not sure which one it was. I know of three other infants who died with hours of their shots, too. It does happen, that's why I don't do them.\nHere's what I found on the possible side effects.\n\n"serious allergic reaction involving swelling of the mouth, breathing difficulties, low blood pressure, hives, weakness, an increased heart rate, dizziness and shock. If your child has any of these symptoms, call 911 or take her to an emergency room.

It's not too serious.  Many new born babies have this condition.  According to the links below, it will take care of itself.\n\nIt's an excess of bilirubin in the blood, produced by the breakdown of hemoglobin.\n\nRather than plagarise, I'll just point you at the links below:

I was at work...until the pre-school called to tell me I had to come and pick up my 4 year old, because she had been bitten by a spider. I think I broke every speed limit on my way there...\n\nBTW.....She will be OK....her whole arm is swollen and red, but the pediatrician says she'll be fine after her antibiotic kicks in.

woah... you should get him to see a doctor right away. Have his lungs checked my dear before infection starts to build up. :-O

It is disgusting, but from a biological standpoint, as long as you aren't running your hands through the stuff, your chances of getting a serious illness are very low, however if the mice are deermice, I would be concerned about hauntavirus (very deadly), for cleanup, I would recomend bleach/water mix (Bleach is one of the few cleaners that truly kills most bacteria, and viri), plus wear gloves and a dust mask.

She becomes contageous right as she gets infected. To make sure you dont get it wash your hands A LOT. I would take Airborne that stuff is amazing and works wonders against colds, flu, and anything else! Trust me its awesome! also, get your flu shot that would also keeep you from catching what she has.

Staph on the skin can lead to red, fluid-oozing sores, itching and general redness. But once Staph has entered the body, it can lead to harmfull illness like bone problems, and even pneumonia. I would ABSOLUTELY not let your brother hold your little one (anyone under the age of 5) unless he has THOROUGHLY washed his hands. Depening on how severe the outbreak, I would even go so far as to recommend gloves and perhaps a mask. Don't take any chances with your precious angel, Staph is hard for the little ones to kick. Good luck!

Alot of bad side effects. Quit now and your lungs will start to repair themselves.  I hate I missed your earlier question, but 16 drops = 1 cc/ml.,  5ml = 1tsp,             15 ml = 1 TBS... Nurse Stay RN, BSN

YEAHH! the company that i work for actually came in handy!!\n\nWhat is pneumonia?\nPneumonia is a lung infection that can make you very sick. You may cough, run a fever, and have a hard time breathing. For most people, pneumonia can be treated at home. It often clears up in 2 to 3 weeks. But older adults, babies, and people with other diseases can become very ill. They may need to be in the hospital.\n\nYou can get pneumonia in your daily life, such as at school or work. This is called community-based pneumonia. You can also get it when you are in a hospital or nursing home. This is called hospital-based pneumonia. It may be more severe because you already are ill. This topic focuses on pneumonia you get in your daily life. \n\nWhat causes pneumonia?\nGerms called bacteria or viruses usually cause pneumonia. \n\nPneumonia usually starts when you breathe the germs into your lungs. You may be more likely to get the disease after having a cold or the flu. These illnesses make it hard for your lungs to fight infection, so it is easier to get pneumonia. Having a long-term, or chronic, disease like asthma, heart disease, cancer, or diabetes also makes you more likely to get pneumonia. \n\nWhat are the symptoms?\nSymptoms of pneumonia caused by bacteria usually come on quickly. They may include:\n\nCough. You will likely cough up mucus (sputum) from your lungs. Mucus may be rusty or green or tinged with blood.\nFever.\nFast breathing and feeling short of breath. \nShaking and "teeth-chattering" chills. You may have this only one time or many times.\nChest pain that often feels worse when you cough or breathe in.\nFast heartbeat.\nFeeling very tired or feeling very weak.\nWhen you have mild symptoms, your doctor may call this "walking pneumonia."\n\nOlder adults may have different, fewer, or milder symptoms. They may not have a fever. Or they may have a cough but not bring up mucus. The main sign of pneumonia in older adults may be a change in how well they think. Confusion or delirium is common. Or, if they already have a lung disease, that disease may get worse. \n\nSymptoms caused by viruses are the same as those caused by bacteria. But they may come on slowly and often are not as obvious or as bad. \n\nHow is pneumonia diagnosed?\nYour doctor will ask you about your symptoms and do a physical exam. He or she may order a chest X-ray and a blood test. This is usually enough for your doctor to know if you have pneumonia. You may need more tests if you have bad symptoms, are an older adult, or have other health problems. In general, the sicker you are, the more tests you will have. \n\nYour doctor may also test mucus from your lungs to find out what germ is causing your pneumonia. Finding the exact germ can help your doctor choose the best medicine for you. \n\nHow is it treated?\nYour doctor will give you medicines called antibiotics. These almost always cure pneumonia. You need to take all of your antibiotics so you get well. Do not stop taking them because you feel better. Take them exactly as your doctor tells you. \n\nPneumonia can make you feel very sick. But after you take antibiotics, you should start to feel much better. Call your doctor if you do not start to feel better after 2 full days of antibiotics. Call your doctor right away if you feel worse. \n\nThere are things you can do to feel better during your treatment. Get plenty of rest and sleep, and drink lots of liquids. Do not smoke. If your cough keeps you awake at night, talk to your doctor about using cough medicine. \n\nYou may need to go to the hospital if you have bad symptoms, a weak immune system, or another serious illness.\n\nPneumonia caused by a virus usually cannot be treated with antibiotics. Home treatment, such as rest and taking care of your cough, is the only treatment.\n\nHow can I prevent pneumonia?\nIf you are older than 65 or you have a heart or lung problem, you may want to get a pneumonia vaccine. This shot may prevent pneumon
