I think maybe you are asking about the para-influenza virus?  I've never heard it referred to as paraflu.  At any rate, para-influenza is the virus that causes the croup.\n\nThe main symptom is usually a dry, bark-like cough.  It can cause fever, respiratory problems, etc. just like any other virus.  If it is a child that is affected, of course the problem can be more serious.  If a child has asthma or lives with smokers, she is at a greater risk of having more difficulty.  So, to answer your question, the main warning sign to look for would be difficulty breathing.

The first symptoms tend to be either the development of Kaposi's Sarcoma, Pneumocystis jiroveci pneumonia (a rare kind of pneumonia that only affects immunocompromised people), and oral thrush (a yeast infection in the mouth). Also, having an illness that just won't seem to go away can be a sign. If you suspect you have AIDS, see a doctor right away.

Cough syrups have been shown to do nothing to cure, prevent or even treat symptoms of a cold or cough.  Your child might have an infection that if not treated could spread into his/her ears or other part of their body and cause a lot of damage, and cost a lot of money to treat.  Infection can also cause menengitis and sepsis which are lethal diseases.  Please, take your child to the doctor. Coughs shouldn't last more then one month, even if you smoke, which I hope your 4 year old does not do.  (If you smoke go outside till the little one gets better) If you do not have insurance Look in the phone book for Free clinics.  Usually children that young can get insurance that is covered by the State.  Whatever the problem is, it is long past time to take this child to the doctor, sign up for some vaccinations while you are there.  Here's a Web site from the national institute of health in case you want to research a little.

How old is your son? (Could be "mono" if he's a teenager). Did they do any throat/NP cultures? Any respiratory symptoms? What was the differential cell count? This time of year (depending on where you live) respiratory viruses get started. If it is a virus, antibiotics won't help. If it's something like strep throat or "walking pneumonia" then antibiotics will kick it pretty quickly. Could also be a secondary bacterial infection following a viral infection. Just make sure he takes the whole course of the antibiotics - failure to do so is one of the leading causes of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Good luck!!

You have to be patient with a virus,only rest and time will help. Sometimes there can be secondary effects like a cough that develops into pnuemonia. Simply take bed rest, eat bland food and try to stay hydrated.\nOh a lot of the time what we think is a virus is food poisoning. Now that you may want to get checked out by a doctor.

Signs of anemia may include the following: \n\nBlack and tarry stools (sticky and foul smelling) \nMaroon, or visibly bloody stools \nRapid heart rate \nRapid breathing \nPale or cold skin \nYellow skin called jaundice \nLow blood pressure \nHeart murmur \nEnlargement of the spleen \n\nSymptoms of anemia may include the following: \n\nFatigue \nTrouble breathing \nChest pain \nAbdominal pain \nWeight loss \nWeakness \nDizziness and passing out, especially upon standing\n\n~~~\n\nThat eating soil thing is just a myth...your daughter is eating soil because she can.  IF she is anemic, she doesn't have some innate knowledge that soil will give her iron.

It sounds to me like what I had late last year. Walking pnemonia was the culprit and I had a very bad cough and was sore around my lungs (front and back) from coughing for days on end. I contacted my physician and he prescribed an antibiotic (I cannot remember which one) which helped fight the infection, and also prescribed cough syrup with codine to help supress the cough and enabled me to sleep at night. \n\nI hope this helps you out and most importantly - get well soon!\n\nOh, and I'm not a doctor - but I play one on Yahoo!

Symptoms\n\nLead poisoning usually does not cause noticeable symptoms. Most lead poisoning comes from low levels of exposure over a long period of time. The major organ systems affected are the central nervous system, gastrointestinal (digestive) tract, and the renal system (urinary tract).\n\nChronic lead exposure may cause the following symptoms.\n\nGeneral physical symptoms in children and adults (usually seen when lead poisoning levels are severe)\n\nStomachaches, cramping, constipation, or diarrhea \nNausea, vomiting \nPersistent, unexplained fatigue \nHeadache \nMuscle weakness \nHigher rates of tooth decay \nChildren with chronic low blood lead levels who may not have obvious symptoms of lead poisoning may show slightly lower intelligence and be smaller in size than children their age who do not have low to moderate levels of lead poisoning. A recent study showed that declines in IQ can even be seen in children with blood lead concentrations below 10 micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (10 µg/dL), the level of concern defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization. 11 Chronic exposure to lead may also cause behavioral problems in these children. \n\nBehavioral symptoms in children\n\nIrritability or aggressiveness \nHyperactivity, being easily distracted, impulsiveness \nLearning difficulties \nLethargy or less interest in play \nLoss of appetite \nBehavioral symptoms in adults\n\nUnexplained changes in mood or personality \nChanges in sleep patterns \nInability to concentrate \nDecreased sex drive \nMemory loss \nIrritability \nNeurological symptoms (caused by effects of lead on the nervous system)\n\nPoor coordination \nWeakness in hands and feet \nHeadaches \nConvulsions \nParalysis \nComa \nDiagnosing lead poisoning can be difficult because many other conditions cause similar symptoms. \n\nSevere symptoms of acute lead poisoning can include seizures, unconsciousness, paralysis, or swelling in the brain. However, exposure to such a high level of lead is not common. 1 If you experience these symptoms, seek emergency medical care.
