What to do for ds's coughing

mlc92404

Ds#1 has signs of having allergies. Almost constant runny nose that he wipes upward, dry cough that does not sound like a sick cough, sneezing and watery eyes. I've tried zyrtec and claritan and neither seem to do much for him. I just picked up allegra and will try that tomorrow. He has a consultation with an allergist but not till the 19th. His coughing is pretty constant right now. If the allegra doesn't do much is there anything else I can do to make him more comfortable till he sees the allergy dr? You can tell it bothers him after coughing most of the day.

Go to  your pedi. He may need a nebulizer. Spring is pretty bad for my DS too. We usually have to do Claritan 2xday and the nebulizer at least twice a day, and eye drops. Oh  the joys of Spring.

Honey is good for coughs, and I've heard using local honey can help with allergies.
