DD 2.5 coughing carnt stop and relax into deep sleep

[MamatoHoney]

any idears i have exausted my bag of tricks

Is it a dry or productive cough?

If it's productive it may be worthwhile elevating him to prevent the mucous irritating the back of the throat.

Otherwise have you tried medised?

Put a wet towel over warm radiator to moisten the rooms air

bad spelling by me
have done medicine
wet towel onradiator which is almost off warm house
vic on chest
karvol plug in
droplets on flannel in her pillowcase
raised her bedhead

the cough seems to be dry but with a snotty nose

Can be worth giving a cough medicine if it is a dry cough. I know they are frowned upon, but I have found that they can soothe the cough long enough to allow the child to get into deep sleep so that when they start coughing again, they stay asleep.

Sounds like you've tried everything then.

Must be one of those viruses you have to get through

Ds has had nights when he's coughed continuously.hope you and he manage to get some sleep.

I take it he's not asthmatic?

tixylix!

So sorry,I keep referring to your lo as a boy

no not asmatic no problems she is usually ok just seems to pick things up since starting nursery

we bourt some tixilix today but when she went to bed we gave her some of the nighttime version so we are trying to work out times and doseage

how old is she, honey? dd1 is 2.8 and gets 5ml before bed.

she will be 3 in sept

might be worth giving her another dose and a drink of water.The dose is usually 4hrly but you'd need to check obviously.

went to bed about 7.30

if/when she wakes up, i'd give her 5mL of tixylix and water - or put it in her water if she won't take it. that's what i have to do.

dd1 has a dry, hacking cough from this weather - i have it, too.

thanks for your help im am going now me and dh are going to take it in shifts hope to talk to you again this is only my second time on hear

good lucky, mama! we've all been there and/or are there now!

hope you manage to get some sleep,night

good morning we did get some sleep but very eratic dd finaly appeared to relax about 4am this must of been exaustion slept for about 4 hours she is very tired and clingy try her with a nap soon got relitives coming for tea i wish we could uninvite them best wishes mama.

Hi My ds1 was not asthmatic but was given a blue inhaler by our doc when he had a chest infection - just in case. We rarely used it, but did find that it was fantastic with these tickly night coughs. One puff of the inhaler and he would cough once and not do so again for the night. If symptoms persist, it might be worth asking.

thanks tired mum hopefully going to see gp tommorow if this persists tonight she is fast asleep at the moment
