Horrible cough

Both babies have had a cough for about a week now (and now dh and I have caught it ). We took them to the doctor and both of their lungs sound fine so they chalked it up to viral and would have to run its course. A few times now Ellie has coughed so hard she vomited. It even came out her nose. She looks so scared and sad :(. We use a humidifier in the bedroom and have been putting baby Vicks on their feet at night. Any other ideas?

  • @mndynitetragdy‌ Yep it's wet .. We keep them elevated too. I think it's the up and down weather we've been having!

  • No advice, just wanted to send you virtual ((hugs))! Poor babies, I really hope they feel better soon.
  • Sometimes steaming them is good. We have a small bathroom...shut the door, put shower on hottest level, let it get really steamy, then suction bulb the nose and throat.
