Anybody’s toddler got this hideous cough that’s not Covid and won’t bloody go?

Was convinced it must be Covid again, DS 2.5 years had it earlier this year but got a fever and a cough nearly two weeks ago. Kept testing negative despite his preschool having lots of cases of Covid.

fever has gone but the cough continues to linger, sometimes causing him to be sick. Doctor says as it’s viral nothing they can do, and we’ve tried all the usual tricks.

guess I’m just looking for a moan and groan, as he had a cough for ages earlier in the year as well (weirdly not with Covid when he had it before) and I feel like we are just constantly dealing with broken sleep due to coughing.

if anyone has a magic cure, do send it our way won’t you!

Confusingly he’s gone up for a nap and it’s been an hour and he’s not coughed once… despite coughing loads when we were out. Dare I hope…

My seven year old has it and can't seem to kick it. I had it for weeks but it finally seems to have cleared up. One of my daughter's friend's dad has it and got antibiotics for it this week and they have made a huge difference, so it might have started viral but it clearly turned into an infection.
