7 month old baby with a chest infection?

  • Posted on February 4, 2011 at 9:26 pm

My Daughter has spent the last week in hospital with a combination of tonsillitis and a chest infection. Where she picked them up from is beyond me but needless to say, she has been very poorly with an exceptionally high temperature. We are home now and she is on slow-release antibiotics but her cough, which is dry and hacking, is absolutely choking her and making rest and sleep very difficult.

We have tried elevating the upper end of the cot and our own bed too as she often ends up with us and are trying to limit the use of her dummy as she sleeps because this tends to make her cough worse. The cough is probably worsened by the fact that her liquid intake is minimal at the moment due to her sore throat but I wondered if any of you had any ideas on how I can make her more comfortable? You and I would go out and drink every cough syrup off the shelf but obviously, that isn’t an option and the hospitals advice of ‘gentle back rubs’ isn’t very helpful in the middle of the night when actually all she wants to do is rest, not be moved or propped up for some vigorous rubbing.

Any tips?

How to Treat Baby Yeast Infection

  • Posted on January 20, 2010 at 3:20 pm

Not only can adults with skin folds get a yeast infection, but so can those wondrously-pinchable chunky babies and toddlers. When working as a toddler teacher, I had come across both sexes of children with yeast infections. One of my toddler girls had a huge rash under her armpit. When I pointed this out to her mother, she was brought to the doctor that same day. The following morning, her mother came to us with a cream – it was a cream to kill the yeast infection under her armpit! It is truly distressing to have a child who cannot talk, eventually come down with a yeast infection.

On a baby, the only couple of signs you get from a girl is just as unnerving to the child as to the mother. If your daughter cries every time she urinates into her diaper, and has a lot of redness and swelling in her vaginal area, then it may be time to take her to the pediatrician. I also had a toddler boy end up with a yeast infection. This child happened to have his foreskin attached to his penis still. If you do not know, many children nowadays happen to have the foreskin removed within a few days after birth – whether for sanitary purposes or religious reasons.

If the foreskin is not pulled back from the head of the penis and cleaned properly, then a yeast infection can occur. One this child, the recurrent yeast infections became so much that his parents finally decided to put the child through surgery (at 21 months of age) to have the foreskin removed. Now, this does not mean that an uncircumcised boy will always get yeast infections, but the parents do need to make sure that they are properly cleaning the area. This also means that the child must be taught to do this as a young man, or, as an adult, that man can get a yeast infection around the head of his penis.

Infants can also be susceptible to a form of yeast infection in the mouth, called thrush. Thrush is seen in the mouth a small, white patches on the insides of the cheeks, and the roof of an infant’s mouth. It is normally painless, but can become uncomfortable enough for an infant to refuse to breastfeed. That being said, a mother can contract a yeast infection in her breasts if her infant has had thrush. Both the infant and the mother would need to be treated for the infection.

On the mother, small red or white patches can show on the breast, as well as red or purple discolored nipples. During breastfeeding, the mother may experience shooting pain in the breast, or even a more sensitized nipple area. Many antibiotics to treat yeast infections can be passed through breast milk, so doctors truly need to exhibit caution when treating this type of infection. Some mothers swear by eating more yogurts that contains good bacteria, and lessening consumption of yeasty foods.

Msra Infection & Cdiff Super-bug – Hospitals to be Renamed “slaughterhouse”

  • Posted on January 8, 2010 at 8:27 pm

We are all aware that the world is going potty in a mad sort of way, but when people start to follow suit then it becomes a worrying time for us all and especially more so for those if admission to hospital is imminent. People trained to heal are abusing their position (not all) by ignoring situations where compassion should be a number 1 priority. Is our hospitals curing or killing patients. Over the years the ailing has put their trust in hospital procedures, only to have them now question, is today’s welfare care worthy of our trust. Hospitals are under strict debate as to being a place that poses more threats to ones health than that of the plague, HIV and other killer diseases.

It was the harrowing story about Margaret Hudson, of Jarrow that had me throw light on this problem. Hospital officials are investigating after a nurse banned a daughter from her dying mother’s bedside. Margaret Hudson was ordered home while her 107-year-old mother called out her name at South Tyneside District Hospital. She was informed relatives could only stay during visiting hours. The ageing 75-year-old daughter was denied holding her mothers hand and to comfort her. She returned later with only minutes to go before her mother passed away. The hospital has apologised. It is too late for sorry. Did the nurse in question not have a mother? Fair enough should the presence of the daughter have interfered with medical practice taking place, then understandable, but this was not the case .

Miss Hudson said: “Mam was suffering and calling out my name so I asked could I be at her side, but was rudely told ‘no’. This was evidently a time for compassion Hudson said that she offered to pay for a private room but the cold hearted nurse turned her back and said ‘we don’t have one’, and sent her packing. We have all been taught to respect people who save lives but when they prevent those living to say goodbye to their loved ones, is an inhumane act where respect is gone. May this nurse hold her head in shame for a long time?
“I’ve been caring for mam every day for the past 25 years and when she needed me most I was not there.” said Hudson. Her mother was admitted to hospital after suffering a stomach upset and slept through the first night after her daughter was sent home. However, her condition deteriorated and doctors called her daughter, who returned at the official visiting time in the afternoon. A spokesman for South Tyneside Hospital said the matter is under investigation. He said: “On balance, we feel that on this sad occasion our staff was not as obliging as they might have been and, in retrospect, the lady should have been allowed to stay.

Are hospitals taking lives instead of saving them? Risk factors for hospital-acquired (HA) MRSA include:

MRSA remains a major concern in hospitals, it was reported in 2007 that 1.2 million hospital patients are infected with MRSA each year in America alone, these figures are quite scary and the number for those colonized is estimated at 423,000. MRSA is far more widespread in old people’s care homes than in hospitals. Carriers of the disease have can spread germs, even if they’re not sick themselves. The aged and ailing are more susceptible.

Patients on dialysis, or catheterized, or have feeding tubes are at higher risk. MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus an infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (staph.) Many years ago, staph emerged in hospitals which were opposed to the broad-spectrum antibiotics normally used to treat it. It is an infection of seriousness, so serious it can kill. It was one of the first germs to outsmart all but the most influential drugs.

Regular place of habitat for Staph bacteria to settle are normally on the skin or in the nasal region. If a patient has staph in the nose or on the skin and shows no sign of sickness, are usually “colonized.” Staph bacteria are generally harmless like most other body bacteria’s, however if permitted to enter the body through an open cut, it can cause minor skin issues.

Symptoms of the Staph infection are easily recognized as little red bumps similar to acne pimples, boils or spider bites. Rapidly they can turn into painful abscesses that will need surgical draining. In some cases the bacteria may stay curbed to the skin, if the bacteria tunnels into the body, it poses threat – causing infections in bones, joints, bloodstream, the heart valves and lungs. Of course if body organs that keep us alive are infected then this is when the infection can turn killer.

Clostridium difficile

Healthcare associated infections have increased. One of the most prevalent and potentially dangerous is caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile, known as C. diff or C. difficile. There is no evading this type bacteria, it is everywhere i.e. the air we breathe – the water we drink. It is harmless unless it develops in great masses in the intestinal tract of people taking antibiotics or other antimicrobial drugs. C. difficile symptoms range from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammations of the colon. Cdiff isn’t directed to hospitals altogether. It’s a growing health concern regardless.

Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a spore shaping bacterium present as one of the ‘normal’ bacteria in the gut of up to 3 per cent of healthy grown ups. Patients treated with broad spectrum antibiotics are at greatest risk of C. difficile. As like MRSA the risks increase if elderly or have a weak immune system. The number of death certificates in England and Wales mentioning Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) infection increased each year from 1999 to 2006. In 2006 there were a staggering 6,480 death certificates which mentioned C. difficile, a 72 per cent increase from 2005. Among death certificates with a mention of C. difficile, the percentage for which it was the underlying cause of death was similar (around 55 per cent) in each year.

This concern needs to remedied fast. Calling for “strict” hygiene standards in our hospitals is not enough; it has to be a “stricter” calling.
