Anybody remember this? This was the beginning of what poor Nikell would have to suffer through. Ever since she was about 2 months old she has been congested and miserable with very few good days in between, often on the nebulizer for her asthma. We finally got tubes put in her ears and this has relieved a lot of pain for her, but she is still constantly congested. Lately she has started pounding her head with her hand because it hurts (I assume). I have taken her to the doctor so many times that I have lost count. So today I took her to another doctor. One that I know to be cautious and willing to test to rule things out. My other doctor swears it's allergies, but allergy medicines do her no good. Anyway, so now we are doing more tests... We'll see if it's a fixable problem or if we just need to wait until she is old enough to take out her adnoids and tonsils. If you've got advice, I've probably either already heard it or read it, but feel free to dish it out--I'm all ears.

Tests, tests, tests...

Wish I knew....but it can't be fun to always be congested. I hope that you get on the right road and Nikell can soon feel tons better.
Poor girl! I feel so bad for both of you. If there is anything I can do for you please let me know!
Oh asthma. No fun at all. Hopefully they will find something out, and then you can give me some pointers for Boston. Let us know if we can help. Good Luck!
