About 3 months ago, from a seemingly innocuous cold, my 2 yr old developed pneumonia and started wheezing. I took him to the Dr several times while his lungs sounded "great", then when "oh it's just a little fluid", and then "oh wow, he's wheezing". At no time, did I suspect anything based on what I heard externally from his chest or breathing. I bought a stethoscope so I could hear his breathing better, and know when we have an issue or not, as of course, he may now wheeze again. He just developed a cold with a cough, and I think he sounds fine, but then again, I'm not a Dr. Does anyone know any websites, that have 'sample' wav/mp3 files so I could hear what troubled breathing sounds like for comparison?
The pedi gave us extra Xopenex for "next" time, but I'm a little confused on when to use it...I mean should I use it even if he's not wheezing??? And how can I tell if he's wheezing if I couldn't tell last time?
