DD and cough

Poor DD is coughing non-stop.  I don't know how she's or we are going to get any sleep tonight.  The cough med. we gave her isn't doing squat.  She has a dr. appt in the AM, but the poor thing is so miserable.  :(

    I am so sorry! Dd1 had a bad cough the other night it was not fun for anyone :(

    These are things that helped dd. She had a hot bath before bed and I rubbed her tummy with vicks. She got some tylenol and a teaspoon of honey, as well. She slept (if you call it that) propped up on pillows. In the middle of the night I steamed her again and did the honey trick.

    DS has croup.  We have the humidifier going and when it is bad we sit in the bathroom with the steam from the shower.

    Steamy shower and teaspoon of honey has helped our dd.  But I know how it is for her to keep everyone up all night long with her cough.  Hope she's better soon!

    A spoonful of honey right before bed.  Also, kids under age 6 should not be given cough meds.  There have been many studies that show that they don't work.  You can also keep her head elevated with an extra pillow, use a humdifer in her room.
