6Yr Old NO Fever, Wet Cough and Nasal Congestion Pain in Arms and Legs??

I inquire of you...what are her symptoms? If she is wheezing, a nebulizer is probably needed. If not so much, see an ENT doctor to get proper allergy control. My daughter has a hard time this time of year, but once we take Claritin and nasal spray she is okay. I dealt with asthma as a child, took inhalers regularly, so I feel like I can speak from both sides here. PM me if you'd like. I feel like asthma medication is overprescribed, maybe she just needs a nasal antihistamine spray.

She can certainly have a cold and growing pains at the same time.
Try having her rinse her nose/sinuses out with a neti pot several times a day.
A soak in a warm bath is great for her cold and her aches and pains.
Keeping her fluids up is always a good thing - chicken soup broth never hurt anyone.
For muscle cramps you can try having her eat a banana for the potassium.

J., this is a question for your daughter's doctor. If your daughter is already on a nebulizer, this is beyond just a common cold. None of us are qualified to answer this for you. Sorry.

I was asking if anyone else had a similar situation going on basically and of course I am on with her doctor.. This is the first time I've ever used this site so excuse me if I did not post correctly. But the first response I got was nice, thank you all for advice. We just came back from the doctors office who said it is probably an upper respiratory infection but are awaiting results. The first go around at the doctors they barely even looked at her so I figured I'd ask others THOUGHTS. Not trying to get medical advice for treatment just wether or not anyone else has had this problem or a child with same issues and if so if they could possibly give me a clue as to what the problem might be so I could speak to the doctor and ask if she thought it may be one of these prognosis'. So that's what I meant by the post if anyone has any other thoughts, thanks

I'm not sure what your question is. Your 6 yr old doesn't have a fever, has a wet cough and nasal congestion pain in arms and legs. That isn't a question, it's a statement, even if you put question marks after it. Then you told us what you are doing to treat her.

I would pose whatever your question is to your child's doctor. Assuming she has seen one recently if she is using a nebulizer, what have the doctors said about her condition? What is her diagnosis? What did they say expectations for her treatment/recover would be? Why does she have pain in her arms/legs? When did it start? What kind of pain, stabbing, aches, what?

No one can offer anything helpful based on what you wrote really, except, call your child's doctor. Which I hope you are already doing.

Often a nebulizer breathing treatment is prescribed due to a dry hacking cough and not a wheezing symptom at all.

The med in the vial expands the lungs and helps open the airways so more air is moving.

The sterile water in the vial helps the med become vapor but it also helps the dry goo to have moisture to help it loosen and get up and out.

The allergy med is likely drying her up more and the two things together are working against each other. If they aren't working then consider what you want. Do you want the stuff up and out easier? or do you want to mucus to stop running and dry up?

When we are doing breathing treatments we are in the shower several times per day simply for the moisture and getting allergens off our bodies. We are also taking Walmart brand Tussin, which is the SAME EXACT MEDICATION as Robitussin and Mucinex but costs pennies when compared to those meds. I pay $.88 for Walmart Tussin and right next to it with the same exact med in it is the same size bottle of Mucinex for $12. Why do people think it's better because it costs more?

Anyway, I also add in some liquid Children's Sudafed that I buy from my pharmacy that is a privately owned business. They order their own medications and don't depend on some warehouse shipping them what they think they need like Walmart and Walgreens do. I asked a pharmacist at Walmart if they could order some for me and they told me it was illegal to sell it, another one told me it wasn't made anymore. I pulled out the bottle I carry in my purse and showed it to them. They looked it up and were astonished. They had no idea.

The Tussin helps the goo be more liquid, up and out. The Sudafed opens the sinuses, goo drains out and isn't sitting around dried up and getting infected. This can increase coughing though. That is the way goo gets up and out. IF her coughing is too severe then that is when I'd consider adding a half dose of antihistamine to dry our out. I'd also give something for cough.

If her cough isn't productive I'd drop the allergy med for a couple of days to see what happens. But that's me. If you have the option to go to a lung doc then make an appointment. They are specialists in that area and know what's what.

there are tons of varying sickness going around my sons school. and many other schools. i assume that shes got a combination of things going on and i assume that her dr should be able to help you figure out what needs to be done.
i hope that its something that can be fixed and your daughter feels better soon
