Suggest treatment for wheezing and coughing in a 1 year old
Patient: My 1 year old has the croup, woke up with it. my other children used to get this when they were young too. But she is more weezy then I remember and her skin seems a little blotchy colored, if that makes sense. Is that a sign of her not getting enough oxygen? She is not running a fever and acting fairly normal. Doctor: Hello.  I just read through your question.Croup is a very common childhood viral illness that usually resolves on it's own . Sometimes it is accompanied by wheezing. When this happens, your doctor may choose to treat the wheezing with medication. I recommend consulting with your doctor so that the lungs can be examined and treatment, if warranted, may be prescribed.
