Who else's child has a terrible cough?

My kids can't seem to get rid of their coughs. They've had it for 2 weeks now. I feel so bad for them, it's a painful sounding hacking cough.

How are your kiddos & what helps them feel better? Honey works but just for that moment but most of the time, I can't even get my younger one to take it.

Re: Who else's child has a terrible cough?

my DD has had this on again off again cough since September! Its driving me nuts. I finally gave in and took her to the dr for it but like I thought its most likely allergies and to just keep giving her Clairton (actually they told me to switch to zrytec so i'm going to try that now)
Its always worse at night to ughh I hate the change of season for this reason!
If anyone has any other remedies I am all ears. lol My DD is 3.

Yes! My 17m old DD

It really only happens at night and it's so phlegmy.

We're going on week 3 here.

Started off as a bad cough for 2 weeks and a cold for 2 weeks. She's officially had this for 4 weeks. A week ago dr said all clear. Praying it goes away soon.

Re: Who else's child has a terrible cough?

A lot of it is allergy related. As soon as my son started with some congestion, I got him back on his allergy meds. Nipped the nasty cough in the butt before it got going..

My daughter had a cough last week. As soon as it started, I gave her raw honey with lemon twice a day. I also stopped giving her any dairy or foods with refined sugar. It went away by day 5. I do have to start this at the first sign of a cough otherwise like you, it will go on for weeks.

Re: Who else's child has a terrible cough?

I was just going to post a similar question but saw your post. My 21 month old DD had a cold a couple of weeks ago and now she has a cough for about a week. She doesn't have any other symptoms and is acting normal. I guess it's just something going around since a lot of our children have it. How do I know if I need to take her to the dr?

YESSSSS!!

DS has had a cold with a cough for almost 2 weeks now! The poor kid is raw under his nose from all the boogies and wiping.

No fun.

My son has had one for one week now. Usually at night, or when we're running outside.

Could it be allergies?
