awful, awful cough in 7 month old.

[Disenchanted3]

what can i do?

Take her to the GP.

shes had SF so wont let us in,

shes nearly finished her tamiflu, no more temps, just cough.

DH is going to boots ...

They won't offer much , try raising her cot head and vaporiser/humidifer

Is her breathing rate ok?

Yes shes fine in every other respect, just a very consistant throaty cough.

Dd has been like that, same thing, had SF, finished tamiflu yesterday but still had horrible cough, I said she sounded like a dog with TB. She has hardly slept because of it unless in a sling sucking my finger BUT it is a lot better today whereas yesterday I was starting to panic about chest infection or something.

yes, shes waking herself up all night,

hopefully it will calm tomorrow then, how old is your DD indith?

7 months she is still pretty grumpy but the cough is more "normal", yesterday she sounded so hoarse.

Its horrid, her whole little face goes pink she coughs so much,

A december baby then

yup, you've just forgotten us all

I know of four five year olds who have had swine flu followed the next week by tonsillitis, so it may be worth calling the GP to ask them to check her for a secondary infection.

Hope she is better soon.

Could be a secondary infection after such a strong virus as SF for a little one, I would call GP and voice your concerns.

How is she today?
