thought on dd's cough

CantWait2Be · January 2010

dd's had a cough for over a week now, Monday night she coughed so much she threw up. We had a humidifier in her room for a few nights and used vicks a bit. She seemed to be doing much better, now yesterday and today she sounds like she needs to cough up some phlegm but won't cough unless we tell her too. Pretty much each time she exhales she does so through her mouth and it sounds like she's doing a really light non productive cough but it sounds like she has stuff that needs to come out. She's otherwise acting fine. This is the first cough she's ever had that we've noticed her doing this. I've given her some honey just a few minutes ago hoping that might get things moving. But is this normal progression of a cough or should we call the pediatrician tomorrow if she's still doing this? I'm thining if she's not coughing up what's there that can't be good right?

DS started coughing last Monday and then was doing the light coughs on Wednesday. took him to the dr on Thursday--and he had pneumonia! We got a nebulizer, antibiotics, and cough medicine. I would take her in. Both of my kids have/had low grade (102 and below for the most part) fevers the whole time. DD kept coughing and gagging in her sleep last night. Try sitting in a room with the hot shower going--it worked wonders for DD. My kids stopped coughing so hard because it hurts

dd only had a low grade fever 1 day and that was a week ago this past Friday. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

dd had a cough like that and when we took her in it was bronchitis. She also had an ear infection. both finally just cleared up last week. It took forever.

We've got the humidifier going again tonight. If she's still doing it in the morning I'm going to call the doc.
