My son is a pretty healthy guy. We just went in to his two month check up on monday (todays Wednesday) and he had some vaccines done and the doctor said he looked great. However, the last couple of days his little clearing cough picked up a little, not much but enough to be a little concerned. I called the CF clinic a little apprehensive because I knew they would want to prescribe antibiotics. I was right.
I feel torn, he seems pretty healthy with just a little cough, pretty dry sounding too. I want his little immune system to build up. I don't want to give him the antibiotics at this age, he's so young. I breastfeed him too. I guess I need reassurance.
I will pick them up today, maybe hold off untill tommorow, see how he's doing?
I look forward to your responses.
Thanks,
Amanda
(he was diagnosed at 2 & 1/2 wks after newborn screening caught him, then a sweat test was given. He does have pancreatic insuffieciency. He is on enzymes, zantac for reflux, vitamins and salt, and chest therapy)
