Poor old DS1 (3) is coughing non stop. He's asleep at the moment so it's slowed down a bit but we were at soft play earlier and he was coughing all the time (needless to say we came home)
It sounds like a dry tickly cough. He is snotty too but doesn't sound chesty.
It's not wheezy either - he suffers from asthma symptoms but a combination of Seratide and Montelukast seem to be controlling the wheeze, but we have this awful hacking cough instead.
He coughed so hard he vomited earlier on today and is generally feeling sorry for himself.
Any tips on easing the cough? I was going to pop into the pharmacy later but I think they recently reclassified cough mixtures and I'm not sure they'll give me anything.
Any ideas?
