Syangis side effect - URI?
Peyton got Synagis last year without any side effects that we saw. Yesterday was her first dose of this season and within 12 hours we saw coughing fits that kept her up most of the night. I saw on line one of the most common side effects of Synagis is an URI. The pediatrician on call said there wasn't much we could do for the coughing and as long as she didn't develop a fever it probably isn't anything more serious like pneumonia or bronchitis. Have any of your kiddos had an URI from Synagis?

Sahana got her very first Synagis shot ever about 2 weeks ago and we haven't noticed any increase in coughing, etc.
We did notice signs of "allergy" (itchy eyes, increased secretions, etc.) which causes her to cough a bit but can't call it a side-effect of Synagis. Claritin seems to be helping her with that. We also know of two of our other fellow-preemies who seem to be handling their Synagis shots well. Best wishes, Harish

Just wanted to give an update, Peyton was admitted last night to UC Davis. At this point they are taking cultures and running blood tests so we don't have a confirmation on what is going on. They have pretty much ruled out pneumonia based on a chest xray - but are going to see if it is RSV, the flu, bronchitis or maybe just a common cold. She was working so hard to breathe that they had her on a ventilator for a few hours. She was looking a lot better when we left last night so hopefully they'll figure out what is going on and discharge her today.

Oh my, what a bummer. I hope it's nothing too serious and Peyton is out of the hospital soon

Wow, I hope she is better soon. I'd never known the shot could have that side effect. Allison never had any problems with hers. Deb
