<b><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif" border="0"> I just put another call into isaiahs c.f doctor because he has this terrible cough once again . This is really upsetting me because everything is being done right to the tee as prescribed and he is getting sick again with another bug.It sounds like the croup again. What can i do to boost his immunesystem so he will stop cathing these same things over again. This is not a good feeling with this cough again.

I try to make sure DS drinks juice that's high in vitamin C. He loves fruits and veggies, so it's not really an issue with those sorts of things. If DH or I feel like we might be coming down with a cold or our coworkers are hacking like crazy -- we do frequent hand washing -- especially when we leave work, blow our noses, enter the house. I went thru tons of antibacterial gel at work last week.

When DS does seem to be coming down with a cold or upper respiratory bug we increase CPT/Vest from 3 times a day to 4 times a day. We use simply saline to rinse out his nose and if he's congested, get out the dreaded booger sucker to keep things moving. Give him an extra bath, get the bathroom really steamy and let him play for awhile to get things moving. We also TRY to get him to bed a bit earlier -- let him hang out in our room and watch videos & read books and hopefully sleep.

Well the good news, he has done one extra albuterol treatment and he seems all better, the doctor thinks he might have asthma on top of c.f so it eases my mind due to i have asthma and my other son does to and every other sibling does on my side of the family so it is quite possible for him to have it especially when one extra treatment of albuterol seems to cure the issue...so he will be seen again on december 5th and thats when we discuss asthma so i am all happy, he is not sick and just asthmatic...makes my day brighter.....
