runny nose, phlem, coughing - where's Tazmania?

[kimhutcheson]

Well, grandbaby that snored has tonsils out....was doing well, and then nose started running, then fever, then coughing, and can't really get it to stop.  everything "clear", no green, but coughing alot.  Using benadryl to help, but not sure what's up
By the way, where's Tazmania? this is one of her problems since she's been born.  It comes, and goes, the dr's thought asthma, but I don't think so.  I'm started to think more along the lines of an RSV episode that has never been resolved, and lungs may be damaged, and easily getting bronchitis?

My Boy is 9 Months old and he has had RAD since he was born.It started off a dry cough and now its a flemie cough. I couldn't figure out why he was coughing so much, so I took him to see a periatrican. The Doc. told me what was wrong with him, and told me to go home and come back in the fall if it get's worse. We went back Nov 30, and he told me there is nothing we can do for it, and we'll have to live with it, the chocking on the flem (phlegm) is what scares me. I'm trying to reserch as much as I can becase the Doc Never gave me any info.

Hi, I'm a first timer. My 5 1/2 y/o son has had many bouts with Croup. He's been brought to the ER quite a few times for tx. I had asked his pediatrician if his frequent Croup could be indicative of Asthma, and got very vague info.
Well, yesterday, my son was back in the ER. He had high fever, and very resricted breathing. He received medical tx. (Albuteral and Prelone). The Dr. diagnosed him with RAD. The Dr. said to finish both of the above mentioned medicines and to then go on Singulair for at least 30 days.
This is a little new to me and I'm wondering if my son should go to a specialist for a more formal eval. Yes the med's seem to work.  However, in the next couple of months, my son will experience this again. I need some guidance, please.
Signed, L

I was born with RAD and haven't had any reactions to in the 15 some years i've been alive. I've had about 3 occasions now where my lungs fill with nasty snot stuff that has the consistency of rubber. I only get sick though when i smoke marijuana. I don't want to quit smoking, and am looking for some kind of drug i can take regularly that will supress my RAD. Any ideas?
