Feeling tight?

[Rebjane]

Suggestions for this feeling my daughter complained of. Not wheezy(yet). Cough is not bad. Just feels tight in her upper chest. Some sort of virus going around school. I gave her extra albuterol and vest. Usually this turns into a prednisone need; but any ideas to nip this so it settles down? She already takes pulmicort, Albuterol, pulmozyme and hypersal. She's also going to school. Ideas?

First early onset of a virus, have her eat a LOT. 500-1000 KCal surplus for a day (or 2..or 3) and sometimes the body can overcome it.
Stuck sputum, a good workout session to get everything moving, opened up and cleaned out.

If a virus is in full swing that needs it's time but still the workout applies whenever possible. Only thing that should stop one from working out is a significant fever.

Same with an infection and to know if something is brewing this is a good time to send the hospital a sputum sample to test.

I usually push liquids, too. And I'll encourage ds to take a long shower or bath to steam things up before bedtime vest & nebs. And we'll do mini-beatments while he's sitting still watching tv to target areas of concern.
