NAD, but came here to say my child had Laryngomalacia as an infant. He was a squeaky breather but ceased showing signs at 18 months. I hope you get answers soon, OP.

Do not take your baby to a chiropractor. Chiropractors are not medical professionals, and they are especially not pediatric professionals. They are at best harmless and at worst lethal.I am not a pediatrician, I have no idea how reliable or useful Owlet monitoring is (I suspect not very), and that minimal video doesn't sound concerning to mebut I can barely hear and I am again not a pediatrician.This is something to discuss with your baby's pediatrician. If the doctor involved is not concerned, it's probably okay. If you're still very concerned, you could try getting a second opinion from another pediatrician, including bringing all of this information.
UTI or Kidney Infection?My daughter 14F, 57, 150lbs, was diagnosed with a UTI at the ER on Thursday afternoon. It caused her to have hot/cold flushes and high HR, which is what brought us to the ER. She has been taking antibiotics twice per day, starting Thursday afternoon. NITROFURANTOIN MONO-MCR 100 MG CAPSULE. She has horseshoe kidney, which is why Im worried. Pediatric nephrology sent her urine from the ED for more tests and they came back this morning to MyChart.Urine Culture Your Value 20,000-29,000 cfu/ml Enterococcus faecalis Flag AUrine Culture Your Value 10,000-19,000 cfu/ml Mixed Contaminants X2Friday night she felt awful and had shakes for an hour. We called the Capital Blue nurse hotline and she said that its just my daughters body fighting the infection and she needs more time for the antibiotics to kick in.Its now Sunday afternoon and she is feeling bad again with a low fever (she didnt have a fever before). She doesnt feel well enough to get up and shower.Is there anyone who can offer help until we can call the nephrologist Monday morning?The ER doc dismissed her high HR and hot/cold body flushed as a panic attack, so now when she starts to feel bad she starts to panic. She has finals tomorrow and has an after school commitment starting this week. I need to figure out what is wrong and help her feel better.
Is her temperature over 100.4?Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) will treat enterococcus very well. However macrobid will not treat kidney infections, only bladder infections. If her temperature was truly >100.4 she may need another antibiotic. You can wait till tomorrow to call your nephrologist to check in.
