ACC200 for babies - pls help

chris_ds

both my boys had/have it, it takes very long to go out of their systems and they will probably get it every year in the winter. And its not nice man, shame i know how you feel.

the nebuliser works the best, it makes their chests open so do it at least 3 times a day.

you can also nebulise them with the acc200 water. and they can drink it too, put one pill in a full bottle of water and give it to them during the day. it really helps to clear up the mucous.

I also heard that babies can drink Duolin (the stuff you get to nebulise them with) but i have never tried that LOL

Get Karvol room spray and spray it in their room before they go to bed, that will help to clear the nose and chest. and puma under the nose.

good luck

I had my little one at the doc yesterday . I asked him about Acc200 and he said you can give one tablet per day for a child/baby under two. Also you can get Acc200 syrup which yu can also give to the little ones.

Hi

Acc200 is seriously safe, infact overseas it is marketed as Acc600 for adults because the Acc200 is so weak. It can be given to a newborn baby safely so i would definately give it a go. It really does wonders for mucus.

My nephew was hospitalised at 3 months with RSV and he was using ACC200 when he was discharged, but it was prescribed for him. I am sure your paed can advise better. He was also given meds to use in the nebuliser when they took him home, one was a steroid and I completely forget what the name of the other one was (but everything was prescribed).

But, the ACC will definitely not work any better than the physio - that's the best for them right now.

good luck, must be so hard having all of them sick

Chris Dylan had the virus and besides physio (and nebulisation) which you are doing there isn't much else they can do.

The paed did prescribe a steriod for 3 days and Dylan was put onto Asthma meds for 2 weeks.

Keep an eye on them and if you feel they are not getting better see the paed again. Sadly many of these babies end up in hospital being nebulised often etc.

The physio should be able to tell you if they are improving or not.

Hugs and strength to you. Just so that you know, it does take a good 3/4 weeks for them to recover from this virus.

Has your doctor not prescribed something for them?
I dont know about Acc200. But antihistamines may help them, you will have to ask your pharmacist for some advice though.

And Illiadin nose drops as well although K currently has the same issue and just about nothing works to break down the mucous far back and she's at an age where she fights the aspirator and any drops I try give her.
I think Bennets have an 'easy breath' kit which is a chest rub and lip balm which is meant to ease breathing but you may have to combine a few methods as I know sometimes it seems that nothing works.

I guess you've had very little sleep too! Hope it gets better.
RSV can be quite severe so please take them to paed if it gets worse.

As for coughing, check with pharmacy if you can give prospan. It's a natural cough mixture which aids breaking down of phlegm.

Hi ,
Oh poor little things!! My lg had it when she was about 18 months so I can imagine how difficult it is for lo who are 3 months.

I don't know if lo can take the Acc, mabe call your paed and ask. I found that when my lg took the Acc200, it didn't really help.

Did the doc give you something to nebulise them with?? Our lg had to nebulise and that helped lots. She was in hospital for 3 days and then at home and carried on with the aerochamber, which is much faster and easier, especially if you have to do the 3. She also had a few sessions of physio. Kept her on the neurofen to keep the swelling down.

Also warm a little water and let them drink it, this tends to loosen the phlegm. Raise their mattress for heads to be slightly higher.

Hope they get better soon.
