I think you just mentioned to half everything.
-
So I will just give her an adult dose of these? The 3 little ones once a day and iag 3x?

Is the iag based more on age of weight? My daughter is 9 but weighs 98 pounds. I’m wondering if I should just give her a full teaspoon?
-
will do thanks
-
I have given her the IAG a few times but will try to add some others you mentioned. Xx

plz excuse my ignorance and of my questions seem redundant. I’m just trying to understand. How can he have any chance of Lyme when the tick tested negative for carrying it?
-
Got it
-
do you mean there’s still a chance he gets Lyme or other ones tested above or are you referring to other diseases that weren’t tested?
He’s been ok. He had the bad croup episode. Dr gave him dexteomethasone and he seemed better but had a wet cough after. 2 days later he developed a fever and committed once but was relieved and much better after. He’s been ok since .
-
also he hasn’t been on any antibiotics since years ago. He’s 5 and I remember giving antibiotics maybe 1 or 2x max
-
Update: here is testing results. Negative. Should I still do blood test in 6 weeks?

thank you so much for your feedback. It’s greatly appreciated. He did have quite a bit of mucous yesterday. I tried to keep him calm but he was very scared. He had pretty bad strider while sleeping which concerned me. He typically didn’t have this in his previous croup episodes. As I mentioned in response to Bernadette, I took him to the dr today due to stridor and he gave 1 dose of dextro. I don’t want to keep giving him this especially if he’ll be getting this often. Dr thinks it’s sporadic and not viral which is indicating an environmental trigger. He recommended asthma and allergy, but I was reading ENT for chronic croup so I’m not sure which specialist to see.

I want to add he had a lot of mucous yesterday and he vomited some of it out yesterday cuz he was crying a lot. He also had stridor at night while sleeping and it was scary. The dr prescribed a single dose of dextromethasone and I did give him that today because I don’t want him to suffer like he did yesterday. I’ve attached his breathing last night as reference. Otherwise this morning he’s acting and playing and eating fine.

thank you for the info. I took him to the ped today and he confirmed that his croup is not viral. It’s sporadic so not infectious but caused by environmental triggers. He’s thinking I should go to asthma and allergy for more testing but I read an ENT is more for chronic croup. So I’m not sure. Also he mentioned possibly getting him on a preventative inhaler type thing but I don’t like that idea and would rather try holistic route. He doesn’t complain of stomach aches often but he does Have a sensitive tummy and is lactose intolerant. So he does have really smelly poops and farts often.

On a different note, my son seems to be suffering from recurrent croup. He’s had it 3 times now. Can you plz advise on treatment and also what tests yo run because this seems like a red flag
