This has been going on for about 5 days. We are all shattered and I really need to find something to help (she is sat next to me whinging and yelling about everything because of tiredness.. bloody lovely)
She started with a cough about a week ago and since Tuesday has been waking in the night, coughing and then throwing up. We have tried linctus (she is nearly 4 so can't get anything too strong useful these days), steam in her room at night, nurofen (advised by Dr), keeping her off dairy products but nothing at all is working.
Been to Dr twice who palmed us off helpfully told us it was a virus and there was nothing he could do.
We are all shartered and I could really do with some advise on how we control the cough. Help, anyone.
