DS has been complaining of a stomachache all week. I'm now betting it's linked to the allergies with all the dust kick up we've had this week. Especially if the congestion is draining down his throat while he sleeps and just in general. So, what I need help with.... He's coughing. A lot. And it sounds bad and is getting to the point that it's making him sound like he's going to throw up because he can't get anything loosened up enough. I've started him back on the breathing treatments so that will help him. I also turned the humidifier on in his room last night and it's on right now. I told him to play in his room today so that he can get the benefit of it. It won't do much in the living room. But, I'm going to look into one for the living room today when we go out. Is there anythings else I can do for him? He won't go for the neti pot. He sounds awful and he feels awful. I just want him to feel better.
Re: Anyway to help DS feel better?
We'd get steam treatments. A bowl of hot water, add eucalyptus leaves [or oil, probably?] and tiger balm. Put your head over it with a towel over your head, and breathe.
Not sure if you're comfortable with this, but it works really well.
