(Sorry long detailed message)
URGENT: Please advise if you can
My Son just turned 4 last month always get coughs ans cold going to pre-school. It seems like he has a cold every 2 weeks. He had a cold about 3 weeks ago, a anormal one, took about two weeks to fully go.
Now: On Thursday his nose started losing copius amounts of stuff, a little green but sneezing a lot and losing a lot every time. He was fine in himself. On Friday the same, this time a little off his usual self wanting lots of cuddles but a bit lethargic and took himself off to bed twice.
On Friday night he started coughting, the incessant tickly cough at bed time. This has happened before so I normall give im warm milk and either honey or glycerin mixed in and it normally helps to get him off to sleep and then he gets a fairly good night sleep.
Saturday: He was ok, bright and breezy to stary, less stuff coming from his nose but less energetic but stil in ok sprits. A bit more huggy than normal (which is lots) but along with that he fell asleep in my arms at 11 am (not since he was a toddler) and I popped him in bed where he slept for 2 hours. He was fairly low key the rest of the day but with an incessant cough that just seems to be coughing out without a break to breath in and he's getting stress and I'm getting worried as the coughs come maybe 30/40 at a time, all pushing air out with no rest in-between to breath. He seems like he goes slightly stiff or a little floppy just trying to get a breath in but he can't stop coughing. I have given him Tixylix every 4 hours which has very little effect.
I am now here at 2.20am and I can't sleep because I'm scared he's not getting enough oxygen. He has a small break of maybe a minute and then it starts again. His breathing is not clear but I don't know if this is because of the mucas from his runny nose, it sounds a little raspy to me but with all that coughing I'm not suprised.
What can I do/ what shoud I do?
I'm so sorry if this seems a strange question but my Dr is closed we don't have a car and I don't want to seem like a crazy woman by over reacting. It took 7 years to make him and that maybe makes me a little over-concerned.
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Please forgive the spelling, I'm so tired I can hardly see straight.
