Sick 6month Old
Posted: 12-29-03 19:47pm

My 6mn old has a cold with a phlegmy cough since he is unable to spit it out should I be worried that he is getting any of the fluid in his lungs? And he's been sick for four days now when should I call the doc.?

You should call the doc now for an appointment. Call and ask what to do until they can see your baby.

Get the dr to show you how to do physio on the babies back, you lay baby over your lap face down & cup your hands & bang them (there should be a hollow sound) alternatively(your hands) down over babies ribs on the back one side of the back at a time. Very good for keeping lungs clear.
