Question Posted: 02-05-08 09:28am
For the past 4-5 days, Cheyenne has been
super cranky. I felt her gums yesterday
morning, and they were just a bit swollen.
Last night, was a little rough for her.
I laid her down at 7 like usual and she
was up at 8 and then again at 9. She
finally settled in after that, but was
kind of moaning and crying in her sleep
the rest of the night. I gave her a
little bit of tylenol before laying her
down the first time and it did't seem to
help her at all. She is also a little
congested, has a runny nose and a cough.
Do you think this is all related to her
teething? I think I'm going to try and
get her a doctor appointment today, just
to be sure nothing else is going on with
her. She has her 6 month check up in 2
weeks, but I don't want to wait that
long.
Any advice?

Sounds like it could be teething and a
cough. They probably aren't related.
Sometimes babies get a runny nose with
teething - but I'm thinking the couch
isn't as related. If she has no fever,
there isn't a big cause for concern.
Do you have any teething rings? You can
also dampen and then freeze wash cloths,
some babies like that coolness to bite on.

The same thing was happening with Kaylee,
and she ended up with RSV. Just keep an
eye on her for a day or two. If her cough
gets worse or she gets a fever, call her
dr.

We've been keeping an eye on her. She's
been like this for the past 4-5 days.
It's not getting any worse, but it's not
getting any better either. I am scared to
death of RSV and I know this is the season
for it. I've made her an appointment for
this afternoon, just to be safe. It's
probably nothing major and I will probably
get another one of those looks like I'm
being too paranoid....
She has tons of teething rings and I got
her some of the teether biscuits too...she
LOVES those. I just want her all better.
I hate when babies
don't feel well. It's interfering with
her nighttime sleep too, and she's not the
greatest napper through the day; so I know
she's not getting the amount of sleep she
should be. Just a worried mom....
