Doctor's are great arn't they. They take a quick look at our kids then tell us it is nothing to worry about BUT if it gets worse come back. It's like we parents are simplistic beings devoid of intelect!
Why can't they just impart a little pitty upon us simple parents and at least offer some suggestion (medical or otherwise) on what we can do for our kids to ease their suffering rather than tell us there is nothing we can do just come back if it gets worse.
In relation to the cough, we have often used steam to ease a cough. Just sit in the bathroom with the shower running as hot as it can and after 10 or 20 minutes our little ones at least did seem to have an easier time.
The steam seems to help open up their air ways and makes helps ease the cough.
Not really good for water restrictions but we found it helped our kids.
The doctors won't suggest this because people in the past have ended up scalding their kids so make sure your a long way from the hot water.
Good luck.

Come on, you, your husband and your 3 twelve months previous are all interior the showering room, and the infant isn't. somebody no longer having somewhat one in his palms is very a huge situation to miss, even on an identical time as groping under the sink for bathing room paper. You the two left her unattended. i'm no longer asserting your husband is harmless, yet definitely, how did you anticipate him to react? Has everybody ever no longer gotten protecting whilst startled unsleeping via a larger half yelling accusations at them? you need to have woken him gently, suggested what surpassed off became nonetheless fairly bothering you, so which you opt for for to talk approximately it, and then had a intense communicate approximately the two certainly one of you desiring to talk instead of assuming the different one is supervising the infant. speaking approximately a thank you to avert this from occurring interior the destiny, and what you the two ought to alter to make optimistic issues like this would possibly not ensue back, could have been so plenty extra useful than a shouting tournament.

If you have taken the child in to the doctor's with-in 24hrs, the best to do is use a humidifier and watch for fever. If not viral ask about medication for bacterial infection. Bernie

From experience the best solution is Dimetapp for me and giving vapor baths and put a vaporizer in their room!! Make sure it is not the "whooping cough". If it is then take your child back to the doctor.
