You can buy cough medicine for that age from boots and other places off the shelf Smile

If its really constant then take her to the docs, they may think she needs an inhaler or steroids.

Ds has asthma, he's only once so far had a constant cough and needed steroid tablets. I do mean constant though - he couldn't talk, walk, eat, drink etc.

vicks vapour rub on her feet at bed time then put socks on... I heard this and thought "nah.." but at midnight thought.. well, why not and was amazed!!

Apparently something to do with the accupuncture/reflexology points on the feet (around the toes) connecting with the throat/chest..
