- Hello all,
-
- Our 2yo daughter has had trouble breathing
- for the past 2 mos. The symptoms appear all
- day but are much worse at night. She seems
- congested and needs to breathe through her
- mouth. She does not appear to have a cold.
- There is little or no mucus in her nose so
- sucking it out doesn't help. Her breathing
- at night is very labored and is heart-rending
- to watch. Needless to say, she does not
- sleep well and neither do we.
-
- We reluctantly put her on antibiotics to
- rule out a sinus infection. Our doctor said
- it may be an allergy. We feel that it is
- serious and needs attention and wondered if
- any of you have had a similar experience
- and/or have words of advice.
-
- Thanks in advance.

- P.S. We recently switched to a warm-mist
- humidifier with an air filter (Bionair?),
- from a cool mist type, but that doesn't seem
- to have helped dramatically.
