Right after a treatment, he gets all worked up. He starts flailing his arms and slapping himself in the head. He just can't calm down. He acts like he is on baby speed. He also seems to fuss excessively after taking his medicine. This is difficult for me to handle, because he is usually a very happy baby. But by far, the worst side effect is the shaking. His little legs and arms tremble. It freaks me out and makes me worry excessively. If the medicine seemed to be helping his coughing/breathing, I would continue with the treatments. But we've been on the medicine for a week and Guppy seems exactly the same. Actually, John thinks he sounds worse.
If my little man isn't feeling better by Thursday, I am bringing him back to the pediatrician on Friday. Ugh.

That picture is so cute! Sorry your little guy is not feeling well...that medicine does not sound good at all.
Will and Eli had the same thing and come to find out it was pneumonia...not wanting to scare you but its better to get answers and get him on a appropriate medicine. And not saying it is that. Hope you find out what is going on!
oh yikes! poor baby :( hoping he feels better soon!
Look at those sweet little eyes! Hope he feels better soon.
Hmm,,,,, Poor Guppy,,, I think its better to take him to his pediatrician the soonest appointment possible.... Or at least call them and inform them whats been happening and that your husband thinks he sounds worse.
Ace had to go on albuterol when he was 4 months old due to a terrible case of croup. He barely slept for three days straight. (So I barely slept either.) It was awful. Steroids are dreadful for the babies! It worked, it eased it his wheezing, but oh my heavens I didn't think I would survive. I'll keep Guppy in my prayers!
Poor baby!
