My great granddaughter is now 10 months old and was born by emergency c/s. Bacisily term gestation, but since she came home when ever she coughs she has a croupy bark to it. She has been to the doctor and they do t find anything . Since I m a NICU nurse I was wondering if they might have intubated for any reason and didn t tell us, that might be causing this persistant cough. Any suggestions ? We have a cool mist vaporizer In Her room for the night and we don t let anyone smoke in the house. Other wise she is healthy and has been walking now for two weeks.
Most child Chat Doctor.  It may persist chronically in the age range mentioned and may manifest with chronic cough. Giving nebulization is the best treatment and since you have the mist vaporizer, that will do the work. Add leveling inhaler through spacer device during the episodes and things should be fine.
