Pediatric Nurse…he needs an evaluation from a respiratory Dr.

[@kathleenclark815]

I think the absolute worst feeling as a parent is when they are teens and they get their heart broken. There is no medicine or words that make it better ❤

[@marlenecronkite2394]

This is the worst pain .

[@Leo-kl6ym]

One of my coworkers has a son whose wedding got called off and my coworker used to cry with her son. Ugh I’m dreading those years tbh

[@RachelleandJustin]

I don’t wanna think about that yet 😭😭😭

[@simplemandy2822]

I totally agree with this!!

[@plantlife1615]

❤

[@georginavallas2073]

He heed a Nebuliser to help him with his lungs poor little man ❤xx

[@michelleflores1769]

I definitely agree with you about having him tested for asthma. My son was a preemie at 31 weeks and showed similar symptoms very early on and he was diagnosed with asthma at around 2 I believe (he’s 20 now! Lol). He was prescribed maintenance meds and a nebulizer for when he flared up and it helped a lot. Hopefully whatever is going on with Asher can get figured out soon! ❤

[@elizabethweiter8010]

We went through this with ny daughter, she was eventually diagnosed with asthma at about 3 years old. Nebulizer treatments of albuterol (opens airways), and pulmicort (a preventative) were the best thing for her. Helped so much! Don't be afraid of the diagnosis, it opens the door to easily get meds that helps so much, making life easier. She's 22 now and we've got it down to a science now.

[@WhitneyEstep]

Feel better guys. Get him tested mama bear!

[@StefanieandKameron]

That's so awesome about the apple tree! We have a neighbor who has an orange and lemon tree and they told us to come grab them whenever we need to and it's soooo awesome and tastes better than store bought. You are living the dream!

[@robinsmanatee]

Welcome back! I can't believe how big the kids are getting! They are growing too fast! Thanks for sharing your haul! ❤

[@lindathomson3274]

Hope your little guy feels better soon….Bless❤

[@dawndrysdale5648]

Rachelle that is exactly how my son sounds when he gets a cold and he’s asthmatic so i would get him checked out for asthma

[@zendamartin7931]

Hope your little one is feeling better ❤❤❤

[@kathynoury676]

I had bronchitis since I was 6 months old. Anytime I was sick it would go bronchial. I would bark like that. Luckily I never needed medication. I would sit in the steamy bathroom and it helped. I was told I would outgrow it but at 61 I don't think I will! I hope he feels better soon.

[@RachelleandJustin]

Thank you everyone for your comments and messages! So much I hope to bring up to his doctor the next time I talk to her! You’re all amazing & helpful ❤

[@debbie8609]

Popsicles help. Not ice cream. But we have croup here often and Popsicles help take the swelling down so he can breath better

[@maggiechristensen6652]

Definitely take him in, I’ve had asthma my whole life. The meds & inhalers they have today have been a miracle for me. Just a thought he might be allergic to grass because of laying on it for an extended period of time. It is so worth looking into it!🤗

[@carolinelily7775]

sitting on the bathroom floor with the shower on super hot - the steam helps open up your chest!!

[@Autumn-f8x]

Steam worked well to reduce the symptoms of croup for my boys, limit dairy & apply Vicks vapour rub to the souls of the feet 🥰

[@michelleoktober6964]

As a momma that has asthma and 3 kids that have it as well, please get him checked for it, that's definitely one of the signs of it, you can get a Nebulizer to help him as well... Home remedy is honey, ginger, lemon and abit of paprika... Mix together and give him 3 times a day for a few days... Hope it helps♥️

[@MrFredoid]

My oldest and youngest get croup when other kids just get a cold 😢. I use nebulizer because it’s easier than getting a steam running in the bathroom. But sometimes, you just gotta take them to urgent care for some extra care when you see that they begin to struggle. Good luck! The good thing is that they grow out of it most of the time!

[@yvonnefields6027]

My daughter had a croupy bark as a baby and toddler. It was so bad, people would literally remove their children from around her when she started coughing. This was even pre covid. Turned out to be asthma. She has since grown out of her asthma medication and is solid at 12. I think it would totally be worth it to take him to a pediatric pulmonologist. The difference in her cough and breathing was night and day once she went on her inhalers. Good luck.

[@kristawilson2413]

This was my son too. We had to call 911 one night because he couldn't get a breath and it was the scariest night of my life. After that he was diagnosed with asthma and we have a nightly puffer and an emergency puffer and it's given us such peace of mind. I hope you get answers!

[@shaunteahdemello6499]

I definitely think he should be tested. My son had that same croup cough when he was young and it wasn’t until he was nearly five that his doctor diagnosed him with asthma. You are doing all the right things though that are within your means. Prayers!

[@louisarichardson8392]

He has the croup , my kids had this all the time, they grow out of it ,

[@amberlear9626]

I was just about to say have him tested for asthma!!! My daughter has asthma and that is the EXACT way she has attacks. Always in the night and that exact cough......

[@louisemason2006]

I hope everyone is feeling better now ❤ For a croupy cough ... steam, put the shower on and sit in the bathroom breathing in the steamy air. Steriods. Calpol to ease the pain. A saline nebuliser. Drink lots of water.

[@sariannamanni228]

Sounds like he has laryngitis. My both boys have had that multiple times, and it sounds exactly like that and usually only at nights. It sounds so scary! Doctor told me that once you have had that one time, you can have it often when you get ill. And when they get bigger they stop having that.

[@bjvee]

My special needs daughter got Croup often - and in the end I just stocked up on the steroid tablets which I would give her if I could see early onset. This meant no more middle of the night trips to ER. But definitely have him checked for asthma. The way the doctors explained to me is that with Croup - they struggle to breath out. And with Asthma it's the opposite - they struggle to breath in. Or vice versa - lol ! Wishing you all the best ❤❤

[@ashleyheroux2209]

This is very similar symptoms to my son. He has ashtma and a bunch of allergies. Allergies make ashtma worse. He also had his tonsils/adenoids out. Since we did that and got him on a regular treatment for allergies & ashtma he’s been so much better.

[@sam_stuff9029]

My 3 yr old son just had that cough and none of my usual things worked. We ended up getting a nebulizer and an inhaler. It worked after 1.5 / 2 days. 🤞 But I would definitely speak to doc about asthma. It can't hurt to check. Good luck mama's.

[@RachelleandJustin]

Thanks for sharing!

[@janicemichaloski5292]

I found your channel when you just had Emma i can't believe she is done kindergarten already 😊❤

[@missladybird2518]

My oldest had that and also had sensitive lungs. Everytime he got sick with no matter what, his group always flaired up. He was treatet with some inhalation medication, two types one was steroids. Here in denmark we call it the seal cough. My sohn only needed treatment when he was sick not on a daily basis. But everything sickness would always end up affecting his croup and lungs until he got a pre teen. From about year 10 and forward it all went away. The best you can do is besides medication is try not to panic and keep the both of you calm. It all becomes worse when he cries. The steam from shower helps and also fresh cold air, also in the bedroom. I know its hard, but hang in there❤

[@laurahuffman1534]

My daughter had cough variant asthma at that age. Anytime she would get sick, it would trigger that asthma cough.

[@RachelleandJustin]

I've never heard of that. I'll look it up and talk to his pediatrician! Thank you!

[@RachaelNelson-df3qc]

Kids essentail Oils And kids Vapor rub

[@sweetangel396]

I am so sorry the kids are sick, that is not a way to come back from vacation with sick babies, i know how you feel cause my daughter was a premie too and she gets sick too and it might be asthma because i remembered having that same cough before my scoliosis surgery but that cough is scary i do hope he gets to feeling better and also you and Justin and your other babies too

[@rachelcovarrubia5016]

One of my twins has that croup cough especially during allergy season. He has to go get a steroid shot. Use a nebulizer/breathing treatments. Saline nasal spray and allergy medicine. You have to try to do a nasal rinse as well. My twins are 3 they will be 4 in November.

[@melaniep.6570]

So sorry for poor little man. Have you tought about allergy to the pets? it could asthma in long term. I would look that side too. Take care xx

[@amandagassett3544]

Breathing in cold air from the freezer helps

[@mackenziekilgore2664]

My nephew had a cough like that for a prolonged period of time and my sister took him to the chiropractor. She said it was stagnant lymph fluid. My sister took him to get lymph therapy and the next day it was completely gone. Not sure if it would be the case for him but we were amazed!!

[@loririchardson3547]

As a momma of 2 kids who had asthma I would talk to his pediatrician about the asthma testing and breathing treatments. If they do give him breathing treatments they don't tell you this but it will mess up their teeth. So we added extra brushing times with the approval of our dentist

[@indrahx5905]

When my baby sister had croupy cough like that, my mom would take her outside, because the cold night air helps with the breathing.

[@SaraRochePolo]

My asthma started like that too. From the effort of breathing I used to cough a lot. I was 26 but still, the nervousness made it worse and it was a lot of coughing until I got my inhalers. Then all better! Keep in mind that I have the lowest stage of asthma and I still coughed.

[@RachelleandJustin]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@terriholmes5436]

I used nebulizer treatments with my croupy sounding kid.

[@carebear1155]

My daughter had the exact same cough. Out of all 3 of my kiddos she was the only one who had that. I was in the UC with her a few times as a mama we would do anything to take it away. We found out that when she gets sick she has what is called reactive air way. She also has asthma but not horrible. Inhaler/ neb treatments help wonders.

[@raedenesimson1470]

I keep hearing that sucking on marshmallows helps with a cough. It’s the gelatin. Hope your kids feel better soon.

[@libbyjett3471]

Interesting

[@mandileigh3665]

I heard that too helps sooth a sore throat and cough same with hot chocolate something in the chocolate helps ❤️

[@haileywillis1184]

I was the same way as a kid and my mom would always boil waiter with some vinegar in it and the steam from that always calmed it down.

[@chrisderouchey1491]

So many years ago I got permanent marker off my comforter with a magic eraser. My then 4 yo colored my comforter, carpet and her little 2 yo sisters hands and feet! I wish I could share a picture! It’s one of my favs! They’re now 20 & 22. 😭🥰

[@amandamoyer8770]

My son is asthmatic and when he starts coughing like that. I use an essential oil defuser with breath easy and calming sleep. It works really well and Vicks on his feet with socks on.

[@Linzek186]

I've had asthma since I was 2 and my mom was just next to me and said that's what I sounded like

[@kellywilliams9189]

My daughter coughed like that on and off for years she was put on an inhaler x now she's 11 she hasn't needed it x

[@alanasanders5836]

Not sure how helpful. My son sounded like that, we told our doctor and they prescribed a preventative inhaler. It’s helped so much! We found it got worse in March/April he was coughing so hard that he was sick :( Hope you get some news soon. X

[@meganperkins-me5cg]

My pediatrician recommended keeping some sort of soft drink with caffeine to use when I was desperate, because that helped to open up their airways. I actually had to use it a timer or two I was desperate and it did work. Also, I kept oximeter closed at all times. You can get them at Walmart or any drugstore. You just put it on, and it helps. Tell you what their blood oxygen level is. I would check with your pediatrician to see if they will test him for asthma, if they think he has asthma, they will give you a nebulizer that you can use. He has a flareup.

[@daniellelaymon902]

My son and daughter out of 5 get croup cough like that every time they are sick my son has been tested for asthma and he has it we currently are going to get my daughter tested soon

[@tessaben9811]

Definitely get tested for asthma. My son is the same, and we were given multiple inhalers/spacer. unfortunately in aust they won't diagnose asthma until they are 5. It's a terrible feeling, but you're doing great

[@lilmsred4664]

My daughter who is 19 months probably has asthma but they don’t diagnose it till 5 years typically, we do a humidifier, warm showers or just sitting in the bathroom with the water on so the steam helps soothe their chest, she does have a nebulizer and an inhaler, we also get it bad when she gets a runny nose and I bought something off of Amazon called a syringe nasal irrigator, you out water in it with saline and put it through their nose with them leaning forward and it gets all the boogers out, it’s a little scary the first time because they act like they can’t breathe but it really helps

[@melissaschneiter5938]

My 7 yr old daughter has viral induced asthma. Every single time she gets a cold she gets that cough. She takes Montelukast every night and then we have two inhalers. One that is only used when she has an illness. One as her rescue inhaler. 😊

[@tammybirdwell8585]

Sounds like the croup!

[@JenniferDraggoo]

My son gets croup. For him, it works to sit in the bathroom with the shower on the hottest setting. The steam helps calm the cough and allows him to breathe better. I know some people have success with popsicles during the worst of the croup episode. Mucinex multi symptom or cold and cough works well too.

[@ericabee827]

Both my brother and I had bad croup coughs as kids…my mom would have us sit in the bathroom in the middle of the night breathing in the hot steam from the shower until the throat tickle went away (takes a good 20 mins sometimes). I also propped myself up with pillows to sleep sitting up a bit. Because laying down made it worse. I feel for Asher because I know how frustrating it can be. We both turned out to have asthma so have him tested. Thankfully we both grew out of it as adults. Now my only issue is if I get a cough it lingers a long time… my doctor finally gave me a nebulizer for those situations and that really helps. I use it 1-2X a year at most. they make them for babies/kids and it’s often more effective for coughs than a regular inhaler. Hope he feels better soon!!

[@bettyrickert7272]

Yes I don’t like that cough at all. I would talk to his Pediatrician for sure. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻praying for him honey. ❤️Granny B.

[@cathycarriere]

My son is like that when he gets sick. He has asthma and it always goes to his lungs. Have Asher tested it could be asthma.

[@Suebearish]

My daughters small community has so many VBS the kids could go almost all summer

[@juliepfarr9398]

I wish we could see the kids , haven’t seen them in along time 😊

[@gjhwebb]

I’m the same, vlogs are not the same, I know most of us have been around since they were all babies, some have been here since they lost Bryn

[@kimnetherton5139]

Definitely sounds like croup, steamy bathroom and warm juice might help but def needs a respiratory review as it can lead to asthma

[@whydoyoucare27]

Vicks on his feet and cover with socks.

[@megalopolis2015]

My oldest daughter had a sensitive breathing tube and lungs. A humidifier helped. It could be that simple.

[@ElmeDeyzel]

My youngest had a cough like that for the first 2 years of his life. He got admitted just before het turned one in pediatric high care, and there we figured out that he is allergic to dairy - causing too much phlegm and making his chest close up. He also had obstructive apnea (he had an operation at 1y7m to correct that) and he has asthma (also born prem) and is on daily steroid inhaler and normal inhaler and nasal steroids.

[@laviniarusu2696]

when I heard that Asher was coughing I said in my mind "but he is so small" then I realized that he is no longer a baby... for a moment I thought of him as a baby😊

[@sherryhamilton6396]

Could it be allergies. Some grasses and plants can constrict airways and cause the croup cough. My son had allergies, which caused breathing treatments. He grew out of it though. Thank goodness.

[@autumnalaniz4622]

I use to get it horrible my mom was so stressed dr told her take a walk at night and make me breathe in cold air it will open his lungs

[@katieoliver1215]

I would look into an allergist for Asher. Being as he was outside late watching a movie, maybe the allergies made his coughing worse.

[@msparks424]

Our doctor prescribed the nebulizer machine so when ever my son starts getting that cough or anyone in our house is congested we do a quick breathing treatment at home.

[@julieannemichelle]

Get him tested for asthma because my daughter had this persistent cough going on with my little grandson. He had a cough for quite a few months that would worsen at night. She finally told the doctor to check him for asthma and his oxygenation was in the 80’s. He now gets regular breathing treatments at nighttime. And he’s 100% better. Good luck.

[@katieferrell6756]

Love you guys and miss you all so much! ❤😊God Bless! I pray everyone feels better in Jesus name Amen 🙏 😊

[@rrye3354]

My son had a allergie onset asthma and colds would make it bad too

[@Angelltatte]

I use a nebulizer for my son! Maybe try that! Ask pediatrician for one

[@fionamccole8444]

My son had croup badly as a baby, I would steam him over a bowl of boiled water, I would give him calpol or nurofen, and also ice cold drinks , I think this helped his throat . It was always evening time or night time when it would start, sometimes with a fever too, We always took him to the GP the following day, He was mostly given steroids through a nebuliser. The very last episode that He had was the most severe one He had, it was terrifying, He was struggling to breathe So much, We just carried on treating Him at home but in hindsight We really should have called an ambulance for Him. He was about 4 and a half when this happened and that was his last episode of croup He had , He hasn’t got asthma but he does have allergies, hay fever, Dust mite etc. I think You should keep doing what You are doing and if it’s really bad take Him to urgent care again, He will grow out of it and hopefully He won’t develop asthma. Hope everyone is feeling better soon.

[@geraldkor8307]

I have asthma and you described me!

[@angelameneses2311]

Sounds like a croup cough. My son's been getting them and recently diagnosed with asthma. My son is 2 weeks younger than the twins. They described it as a flare up which causes the croup cough and is actually asthma. They did a chest xray and started him on an inhaler. We haven't had any issues since!

[@nancyfarkas3592]

Except nothing they did for croup helped

[@lisaharley1725]

That's croup my eldest used to get it and it turned into asthma as he got older

[@jenakins1509]

Have you tried a nebulizer? This helped with my kids when they had coughs like that.

[@emeliesvensson2818]

Try hot redjucie you can make it your self from berries... or a onion in boiling water in a bowl by the bed❤ hope he gets better soon

[@karinhritz9381]

His pediatrician may prescribe nebulizer treatments

[@ccordova115]

Bacteria Pneumonia. Stay on top of his cough and check his oxygen levels. Order an oxygen reader. My nephew was being treated just like this. Steroid and Flonase. Kept saying it was allergies or asthma. He ended up in the hospital because his oxygen were super low and they couldn't figure out what it was until he had blood work and showed he was becoming septic. He was in the hospital for 2 weeks on antibiotics. Doctors these days.... and yes pneumonia is spreadable.

[@alisonmicallef901]

I had a daughter with croup,its frightening,first thing I did was turn shower on and sit in the bathroom with her

[@gretchengardner3538]

Have them eat little marshmallows before bed to help with the coughing

[@minttuk372]

Sounds laryngitis, hopefully you’ll get answers

[@PS-rd3tm]

they say sitting with him near a hot running shower helps because of the heat and humidity

Talk to your pediatrician about the Nebulizer , also dont take him outside in the middle of the night it will make it worse

[@meghanhill7152]

EMT in Maryland here… Has Asher been sick recently with a stomach virus? And by recent, I want to say in the last 3 weeks to a month? Reason why I ask this, is it’s possible this is walking pneumonia / bacterial infection in his lungs. He should have chest x rays done & ruled out for aspiration.

[@mariaedwards2941]

My son has asthma and he was premie twin also he has severe allergies also I would have the Dr to test him

[@angeliquecavilla8545]

Thats definately croup, one hundred percent croupy cough which is the scariest of sounds... but its not chesty. Steroids and nebuliser will help. Goodluckxxx

[@lorismoody]

He has asthma he has an upper respiratory infection my kids have asthma and they sound like that

[@saralangstrom4429]

Really sounds like croupe rather than asthma. But an underlying asthma wouldn't help

[@debbiekotch6006]

turn the shower on hot, close the bathroom door and let it steam up. let him play in there for a bit will open up those bronchial tubes. the cough sounds ferocious, but it'll pass.

[@jofinney9543]

Does he have a nebulizer? My Joshua was like that
