She's coughing so much she's almost throwing up, is there anything I can give her to dry up the mucus or ease the coughing? It's only during the day, Vicks on her feet is keeping it at bay while she's asleep but doesn't seem to work while she's up and about. It hasn't been going on long enough to be a chest infection I don't think, cold only started 3 days ago but cough has developed quickly. Have heard Piriton mentioned for drying up mucus, has anyone tried it and does it work? Don't tend to think OTC cough medicine does much good, has anyone else found one that actually helps? Am just giving her hot honey and lemon drinks so far but doesn't seem to be helping much. She's coughing so much her eyes are constantly streaming, just feel so sorry for her
