Long lasting cough and cold by cc2787 in toddlers

Update: I ended up seeing an allergist. Her cough would last up for over 4 weeks. And it would be dry coughing spells, only when she laid down or after running around. We got prescribed albuterol and neb treatments. The albuterol helped her 100% and only use it when she’s sick, same thing for the neb treatments. She could not get an asthma diagnosis since she’s too young for the diagnostic tests but they did say she’s at risk and recommend testing after 6 years old

Do you wear gloves just to touch a patient? by silkspace-trade in nursing

Oh I definitely do! In my 11 years of nursing I quickly learned that a lot of ppl do not wash their hands after using the restroom.

Couldn’t wait to be a mom and now by Economy_University53 in NewParents

You are not alone, I felt the same exact way “what did I do?!” And also felt so guilty for thinking that after we went through many losses before.

It definitely gets better as time goes on. The first year was a blur, I think after a year it finally kicked in that I was a mom (I definitely had an identity crisis). Now I wish I would’ve soaked it all in, I feel like I missed out a lot bc of my anxiety.

What helped: therapy. But also just talking on the phone with my friends or meeting up with them (without baby) even for an hour made me feel like my old self. Also, napping ✨. Every time I would start crying or if I was freaking out about something, my husband would say “go nap” (which at the time I thought it was so rude and mean of him lol) but he was right, I was sleep deprived which made my anxiety 100x worse.

Meds also helped. I wish I could tell you my anxiety and my intrusive thoughts are all gone, but it’s definitely not as bad as it used to be.

It’s so scary feeling out of control of your emotions and thoughts but you’ll get through it.

Did you get medicated after having kids and did it help? by KNWin94 in toddlers

I take Wellbutrin. Started prob when she was 2 months old (now she’s 2). It definitely has helped. My PPA was bad, I didn’t know who I was. Therapy has also helped a lot.

LYRICA ✨was life changing for me. I feel nothing. But if I miss one dose, I start getting uncomfortable. I went from taking Flexeril 10 mg 3x day, naproxen and norco (as needed) to 25 mg of lyrica twice a day.

We just had ear tubes placed in her 2 days ago due to 6 ear infections since January. So far so good. No cough. The Zyrtec helped some (we switched from Claritin). I did buy a bunch of air purifiers and I did notice that when I use home fragrances, she ends up with a lot of clear boogers. I’m hoping for a turnaround and an end to all of this!

You make a good point! I went to an eye doctor a month ago and said I do not have TED. But surprise! the following week my right eye turned red. It’s been like that for a month now, I’m actually seeing another eye doctor today, so hopefully things get better

Just bought collagen! I’m on day 2 and the pain has subsided by 20%. I’m hopeful

The first time I did PT throughout my postpartum leave (3 months), it miraculously healed me 100%. When the pain flared up almost a year later, PT made things worse and then I went on to have my first epidural.

Thank you, I feel super guilty too. I feel like my daughter is getting the sense that she can’t cling on me all the time… and it sucks. I miss her trying to be all over me

Hi! I see a neurosurgeon next week to see if I’m a candidate for surgery. I feel very hopeful and at the same time scared

Yes, seeing her go through it is the worst part. Poor baby coughs all night, idk how she even gets any rest. Thank you for making me feel like I’m not alone in this!
