Coughing at nap/bedtime?

DD is pretty much back to normal. However, when she lies down for nap or bedtime, she starts coughing. She doesn't cough at all when she's awake and its a dry cough-almost like she has a tickle or somethign in her throat (not phlegmy). It keeps her up and wakes her up a lot overnight. We do have a humidifier running....anything else we could do to help?

Re: Coughing at nap/bedtime?

  • I reccommend a Humidifier!
  • Does she have any nasal congestion? Ian would get this way with post-nasal drip. Our ENT recommended getting a saline spray for babies and flush his nose with it before bedtime. Hope she gets over it soon - poor girl!

  • Humidifier and saline like pps said.  You could also do spoonful of honey since it is a dry cough - just helps to soothe the throat and the tickle.
