What is going on with my three month old baby girl?
What should we do? Thank you.
Answer:
It does not seem like an eye infection is the cause of all this.
It seems it is a result of a bad cold, and most likely a virus ,
I suggest that you run a warm bath for her and bathe her before bed time and again when she wakes up in the morning. it'll help loosen the mucus.
keep her warm and comfortable, dress her in a sweatsuit its soft and warm
next when you put her down to nap it should be at an angle
so her head is elevated and the mucus can drain down in stead of getting stuck and pooling at the back of her throat, this is what causes the gagging.
put her back on a pillow or hold her in your arms upright, even put her in the car seat, some people put the pillow under her crib mattress
I don't like that idea personally
the drooling can be a result of stuffy nose, if she has to use her mouth to breath then this is why she is drooling, also she can be teething and this can be terribly painfull for her, so check her mouth if it looks red at the gums or you see little white spots on her gums it could be teeth.
I would suggest robitussin DM for children, and keep giving her the amoxicillan for the eye infection, it should not hurt her, but just watch for yeast infection in her diaper area ok.
crying and throwing her head back is frustration

I really would like to know whats going on throughout the day. I can help make some suggestions.
I have 3 boys 2 under 2 and a 10 year old.
I would suggest taking her to the ER since she has a high fever.
Keep her hydrated. Continue meds to keep the fever down & drops.
Rub her tear duct gently with a clean warm cloth 3 times daily(use a new clean cloth every time)..
The red cheeks and drooling, could it be early teething??
Keep in touch with your doctor. I hope she gets better quickly.
Good luck.
If that fever is above 102 get her to emergency if not put her in a onesee and a recieving blanket and wipe her face with a cool washcloth. Good Luck hope she feels better soon
Any chance that maybe she has a sinus infection? I'd ask the doctor about that possibility. If it is, then the amoxycillin should help after a while.
Take her to the er. You dont know what she has. It could be bacteria got into her system through her tear duct and that is very dangerous. That isnt something to play around with. Take her tonight.
