Marcel has RS occasionally - but right now, with pollen off the scale - he's doing it more often - which makes sense bc if pollen bothers them, their throats/noses etc would be more irritated and vulnerable in general. That's my 2 cents - take it or leave it!  |
Oh thank you so much Ann....this makes total sense! As I said in the post above, Tatum has been doing this for a long time...and although I'm not really sure if she is doing it MORE often than normal....I do know that when she DOES do it, lately it seems that the "snorting" is LASTING longer....meaning that it is taking longer than it usually does for her to be able to stop. Hope that made sense... lol
I did just check the pollen levels here and right now we are medium-high 7.3 - 9.6 ....it doesn't surprise me. A few weeks ago we were in the red...HIGH
She does have allergies so maybe this really could be contributing. I truly do hope that this is all it is....reverse sneezing and high pollen levels making it worse. I will try and get a video posted of her doing it so that everyone can hear her.
Thanks so much for the help girl!
