bad cough help

Ds has a nasal drip which is causing him to have a bad cough, especially when he is trying to sleep

Any ideas on how I can help him?

Elevating his head is doing nothing

Re: bad cough help

Saline drops and aspirator, humidifier, elevation and vicks chest rub are standard in our house for a cold.

Re: bad cough help

My son is JUST getting over this! It does pass...I took him to Dr three times bc he was NOT sleeping...when he would get comfortable, he would cough and it would keep him up. Dr. told me there is NOTHING you can do..other than aspirate as often as possible with saline too!! It did help...but it's almost a week now and he still coughs a lil bit..but getting better!! Good Luck!!

Re: bad cough help

DD had a bad cough too. It seems to have subsided but her nose is still stuffed.

The saline and aspirator help, when she lets us do it. The humidifer in her room helps as well.

I hate to see her sick, though Chat Icon

Re: bad cough help

saline drops work great

I am a BIG believer in those vapor plug ins...they worked wonders for us

Re: bad cough help

Put a pillow underneath one side of the crib to elevate your DC's head while he is sleeping.
