my baby had a shadow on his lung around 6 weeks ago, and also he gets poorly every 3 weeks max, with wheezing, coughing and going of solids and just drinking 3 oz a day of milk which he usually he drinks 708 oz docs keep saying it a happy wheeze or chest infection, what can it be?
Hi babies with initial damage to lungs during neonatal period may have wheezing episode later like happy Wheeler. As the name suggests happy wheezes are happy. They grow normally, and they have normal activity and appetite. If your child has poor activity and poor feeding it is more likely an infection which causes spasm of airway leading to wheezing. Let him get treated for acute episodes. If these episodes are frequent he may require metered dose inhaler.
