Coughing

AUHOLLEY06

What do you do when LO has a cough? Humidifier, babyrub..? She has a runny nose but is not "snotty", she will cough and gag herself, or do you think it could be reflux?

it is a 'wet' cough? or a dry barky cough?  if it's wet - cool mist humidifier, vicks on their feet w/ socks on.  Take her outside when it's cool - bundle her up of course but the cold air helps. Let her sleep upright/elevated

If it's a dry barky cough, then call the pedi - could be croup. 

 

Hope she feels better soon!
