Re: Any mom living in USA now (Part V)
netjayne,
I have not chatted with u before but I am also a US mom. I saw your message and want to tell u that last month the same thing happened to my daughter Karina (she was 14 months then).
Same thing: lost voice, fever, vomiting and even difficulty in breathing. At the very end, a 3rd doctor diagnosed her as "croup cough" and one shot of steriod relieve all symptoms. So if u can, bring Eddy to see a pedi and ask if he also has "croup cough". Also running a humidifer as closely to him as possible.
At that time, we thought she might have an asthma attack and rushed to ER: no use at all! It's just torture: IV, x-ray, urine test but at the end, just said viral infection. Then Karina's pedi also did not know it's croup cough and she suffered for 3 days until we saw a 3rd doc who is more experienced.
Good luck to Eddy and hope he will recover soon!
