sangtarah Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Our fourth baby is 17 days old. She sounds more sniffly/snotty/congested than she did before. There isn't anything coming out of her nose - it sounds like it's in her sinuses. Her breathing seems fine. We have a bulb syringe, but there isn't anything to remove. What worries me is that our 3 year old developed a cold this past week; he still has a runny nose. Would you call a nurse advice line and/or take her in? She is eating, has been awake and alert at her regular times, seems a bit more fussy when I try to put her down. When she breast feeds, I don't hear as much "congestion", and it isn't constant - when she is upright, she doesn't have many snorting sounds. When she is laying, I hear the snotty/sniffles/congestion but still not constant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 We had that and it wasn't congestion so much as noisy breathing (which saline drops into the nose helped immensely) and then reflux, when it sounded snarflely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yes, could be reflux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is there any fever? I'd be very careful with a newborn and viruses because they are vulnerable to meningitis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sangtarah Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 No, she doesn't have a fever. I am watching closely for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
