My DD (2) has a near permanent mild but chesty cough. When she doesn't have it, she is a bit perkier and less tired, though it doesn't keep her up at night. Allergies run in the family and she has nothing specific as of yet, and she is one of three all very close in age so there are constant bugs going round. My instinct is that there is nothing serious wrong, she has never been very ill so far (touch wood) and only ever developed slight wheezing once, which antibiotics cleared up completely (but then another bug came along weeks later).
What can I do/try to keep her in better respiratory health this winter? Any good tricks? I am game for anything!
