| Lana, I agree that u should probably take him to the hospital especially if he isn't getting any better after a week. Check the mimimum weight specification on the panadol and is he weighs more, then a one off dose will not hurt him. A friend of mine has a 3 or 4 week old baby and he got a staph infection under the skin and developed a rash on his leg and of his mum didn't take him to the hospital straight away, there could have been serious consequences. She was going to wait until the morning to take him to the medical centre, but he is lucky he went to the hospital when he did, they said he may have lost a limb or died. That scared the hell out of me ↑ |

| Newborns do not get sick - get him to a hospital. My 4 day old son starting feeling feverish, I still don't know how I figured out he wasn't acting "normal" He had become dehydrated. My pediatrician said it's nothing, wait it out. I called my brother in law who's a family physician who said - take him to the ER and expect him to be admitted. He was right. Trust your instincts. ↑ |

| Too young for panadol?? I think that is the same as tylenol here in the states and we give that to neonates, even premies!! If he has a fever at 3 weeks old definately get him to the hospital asap! My baby had a fever at a few weeks and it was only about 100.3 and they had me bring him in. It is RSV season, and that can be a very very bad virus for babies!! ↑ |

| Well hes of to see the pediatrition... last night he screamed for hours and was awake for about 3 hours.. hes only drinking 30 ml instead of his usual 150ml and he pukes most back up.. when he burps his little face screws up in pain and he crys .,.. i think his throat must be sore. I gave him a small dose of panadol last night at 3 to settle him and he slept for under 2 hours and was screaming again..his temp went down though thank god.. its so scarey when there this little and sick.. My husband is taking him in casue he is stronger than me and will make sure he gets answers.. i just ball my eyes out. thanks I will let you know how he goes! ↑ |

| My 10 week old little girl got sick at 3 weeks w/ a horrible cough and severe congestion. She had RSV and my dr. was very concerned b/c she was sooo young...there was nothing we could do but wait it out and see if she needed to be hospitalized. He didn't want to start her on a nebulizer b/c of her age...it was sooo scary ↑ |

| It's a really bad respiratory infection. It can mean hospitalization in some cases especially in newborns. Your doctor can do a test if they feel it's necessary. my daughter was a baby and had a really bad cold and they tested her. They (not to sound sick) suck the snot out of her nose from a tube then test it. If she's been to the doctot they must not feel she has it that bad or they probably would of tested her. Hopefully she's better soon. Did the doc tell you to run a dehumidifier? Sometimes they help. ↑ |

| That was to your question about RSV. ↑ |
| Name: jaxjos | Date: Feb 27th, 2007 2:12 AM |
| That's right Dana. RSV stands for "respiratory synctitial (sp?) virus" and it is quite bad in little babies. Please take Couper to the hospital if it doesn't get better. I'm so glad u gave him some Panadol, i'm sure it made the poor little thing feel a bit better. I hope he improves soon, i can only imagine how much u are freaking out ↑ |

| having a sick baby is horible and worring... I can only imagine how people with really sick kids with cancer and things handle it... when my son was nearly 3 he was put in hospital on a drip, dehydrated from a spew poo bug called cryptospreidiosis.. its uncommen here but millions die from it in 3rd world countries. he was in hospital for 4 days and I stayed with him the whole time.. our daughter was only 1 and i was 8 months pregnant.. I felt so bad I wasnt at home for our daughter but I needed to be there for my son... When I go to winge about me being sick with something minor i think of the people who are really sick.. When kids are sick i be extra worring though.. hes having a good nap now.. panadol must have made him feel better.. Tonight I will be going to the hospital if he gets worse! ↑ |

| We went to the doctor and he thinks hes reflux.. He screamed all night last night! he had a temp, hes constipated..he is only drinking 30 ml.. good thing is he weighs 9 pound 2 ouce.. he was 7 pound 8 ounce born! Doctor sent him for a chest xray to rule out chest infectoin cause hes very congested and cant hardly breathe,, we will know the results tomorow! ↑ |
