Dc1 (3yo):cough cough cough COUGHCOUGH cough cough... ... muuuuumeeeee... coughcough
DC2 (11mo): cough. Cough cough coughcough. Whimper moan whimper. Toss thrash. Cough cough cough cough.

I got home from dinner out with friends and got into bed an hour ago. Then I had to get straight back up again. No sign of the coughing pausing.

Anyone else awake?

Me. Fretting about my poorly dog

what's wrong with him/her?

I remember those coughing fits in my kids. I cried with frustration in the end

Dog wiimpers when I pick him up under chest

Put some Vicks on their feet, will stop the coughing!

Don't know why he's in pain it's so frustrating

Vicks on their feet and cover with socks. Honestly. Instant cure

Evening. Dd is in my bed after having trembling arms and legs We went swimming earlier and she did a lot of diving and I expect it's muscular / general tiredness as she seems to think she doesn't need sleep. She's 13 and gangly and taking up all the room.

NotSuch poor DDog, what do you think is the cause?

I have 3 8 year olds here on a sleepover for dd2 birthday. Just had to tell them to be quiet as they had decided to do some "yoga". They are going to be horrible tomorrow.

Vic's is good, plus try and raise them up a bit. So frustrating for all.

Fifipop, give her some magnesium supplements. Works a treat for trembling muscles and growing pains. Epsom salt baths are almost as good. They have lots of magnesium in them and you absorb it through your skin

Thanks Sea, great tip. Will seek some out tomorrow. Hope DC's settle for you real soon OP.
