What should I ask for?

Skylar has a really bad cough.  She went to the doctor yesterday and she said it was the start of a cold and to keep her nose clear and give her a small amount of childerns benadryl at night because it will make her sleepy.  So I did that last night.

She coughed all night.  It got so bad I bought her in with me so I could hear her breath.  Im going to call the doctor today but what should I ask for?  Im thinking breathing treatments.

And to top it off DH has it now too :+(

Re: What should I ask for?

  • Brandon also has a cough. He is on the nebulizer for it. He has had coughs without the nebulizer. They have me do breathing treatments when he is wheezing. The pediatrician has me giving him zyrtec for it. Last night I elevated his crib at one end and that seemed to help since it wasn't settling.
