I noticed Tuesday morning that Alex had a deep cough, but fortunately no fever or runny nose. By Tuesday afternoon he had a runny nose and by that evening I noticed a rustling sound in his breathing. I turned the humidifier on at bed time and hoped it would be better by morning. By Wednesday morning, still no fever, he had begun making a weezing sound and his breathing looked labored. I was really worried that he had skipped the whole cold all together and had developed bronchitis. He was so exhausted because he wasn't sleeping well due to being so congested.
We got an appointment at the doctor that morning and it turns out to just be a lot of congestion and the weezing is just coming from the congestion in the back of his throat. His lungs were clear; thank you Lord! The doctor was great and gave him a decongestant. He was feeling great Thursday and by Friday I had quit giving him the decongestant.
