Thanks. A lot of mucus coming out of where? His nose? Is he coughing it up? What other symptoms? Weight loss? vomiting? Diarrhea? Sneezing? Runny eyes? Wheezing? Does he have a fever? When does he have problems? During the day? At night? At home? At school? At soccer? He might have a cold. My guess is that he has allergies. He might also have problem with asthma. If the problems are ongoing, he should see a doctor. Jeff |

It might be allergies. As a sufferer of allergies since I was a kid (nothing
was done about it then), get your son to an allergist to see if he is allergic to anything. Allergy medicine has come a long way and no one should suffer like I did with allergies. -- Sue (mom to three girls) wrote in message ups.com...

Jeff,
Actually mucus comes out of mouth, first she gets cough and then she gets some mucus, we took her to Doctor, he gave allergy medicine, he was asking us, does anybody in my family have any asthma, actually we don't have at all. I am wondering why this mucus comes a lot, thanks. |

Hi -- Go back to your doctor. If the allergy medication isn't working, there may be an infection that needs separate treatment. Or you may need a different, or more, allergy medication. Or there may be a different underlying cause. Asthma doesn't cause mucous. Allergies can, infections can, and so can some chronic diseases. When you see your doctor, get very specific instructions as to when to take the allergy medication, and you should return in 10 days (the DOCTOR should be the one telling you this, by the way) for a followup visit unless the cough goes away completely and permanently. You may need a referral to an allergist or an ENT. --Beth Kevles http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

I have found in the past that regular pediatrian is not capable of handling allergy testing, medication and treatment unless they have specialized in that area. I find that most doctors just put you on medication without actually testing for the kinds of allergies. For me, I prefer my allergist. -- Sue (mom to three girls) |
