What To For My Son Whose Chest Seem To Be Full With Mucus?
Hi. My son is 18 months & has a very horrible time sleeping & eating & his chest sounds like its filled entirely with mucus, my mom told me it was bronchitis & his doctor is rarely available so I can't get him checked out any time soon, should I take him to the hospital?

HI from your query, I understood is, you are getting a sound - wheeze with increased breathing na. If this is causing him to wake up and difficulty in taking feeds , please take him to a hospital for getting some nebulisations/medications to relieve and also get an X-ray done tor/o bronchiolitis/pneumonia
