DD has yet another hacking cough, which is now keeping her up at night. She is coughing so much she is retching. SHe just woke up and is really hot, but that might just be the exertion of all the coughing.
This is becoming a bi monthly (is that right for every other month?) occurrence. We've taken DD to the doctors. One time he gave her an inhaler, but this isn't helping at the moment. Last time and maybe the time before she had anti-b's, but I don't want her to keep having them without knowing if there is anything else going on.
I know the inhaler didn't seem to help but could it be asthma? It's very prevalent in our family (I don't have it but my mum, bro and sis all have or have had it).
More importantly is there anything else that we can do to ease the coughing? We gave her ibruprofen tonight, and she has settled down now but don't want to keep having her wake up (I'm sleeping badly enough as it is at the moment).
