Congestion

[district12ravenclaw]

Owen has a little congestion right now. He doesn't have a runny nose or fever, and isn't coughing or sneezing or anything like that. Should I do anything about it? It doesn't interfere with his eating or sleeping either.

Here's a video I took of it so you can hear it:

Watch for him to actually start wheezing or be short of breath or his chest to sink when when taking breaths...that would be more of an asthma reaction with which I'm familiar. As far as colds go, as solongtogo said, there's not much you do about congestion. But as I always say, call your ped to reassure you what to do and look for...they're paid to answer all your questions...better safe than sorry is the way I look at it.

Thanks! I don't know if it's even a cold, because there is no sneezing, coughing, runny nose, or anything like that. When he breathes and you can hear the congestion (it isn't with every breath), sometimes I can feel it in his back.
