This is really just more of a vent, because we have tried everything the pediatrician asked us to try as well as a few tricks from boards, and my poor man can get no relief tonight. We are on day 3 of what seems like a minor cold. He hardly has symptoms during the day.
He's been up a couple times coughing the last two nights but always goes back down fairly easily. Tonight he's been up for two hours with no end in sight. We have him in the rock n play for elevation, we have a cool mist humidifier running full blast, before bed and after he woke up tonight we took him into the steamy bathroom for 10 minutes at a time. He has Vicks baby rub on his feet with socks on. I used saline drops and suction on his nose.
And he's still up and coughing. Poor little guy--he will be just dropping off back to sleep and bam! Coughing waking him up.
I know the answer is likely just ride it out, but if anyone's an expert and has a trick we haven't tried, I'm all ears!

Re: Nighttime cough
I hope that your lo stops coughing soon no matter what is causing it!
