Lingering coughs colds viruses etc

[McCadburysDreamyegg]

Has anyone else got children with them? DS is only 20 months old and he seems to have had a cold and nocturnal cought for weeks now! He's also terribly clingy to me, I can't walk out of the room sometimes!

He used to be a fab sleeper but this constant coughing is waking him in the night and only I can comfort him!

Just feeling a bit tired grouchy and the whole thing feels abit never ending. When he is well he is th happiest little boy, hate seeing him like this

Thanks KVG somehow knowing I'm not ithe only one is quite a good feling!! Hope your LO gets better soon too

oooh, spooky - you could have posted this on my DD behalf 20months too. I have had no sleep for two weeks either. She has gone from being a happy ray of sunshine to a grump monster, poor wee soul has had enough of feeling like shite. Took her to doc this am as i dont want a problem during long weekend, out of hours in this area is shite and thats being kind! He gave me a prescription but said only use if she gets worse or complains of ear ache as one of her ears were a a bit red (could be due to excess use of thermometer - evil mother). I wont use abs unless i really have to because i think they are still over prescribed, but i still present myself at the doctor expecting a miracle cure.

Aww Lucy hope you have a good easter - we're going to try our best!

DH has been in Afghanistan, he's only just back to a snivilling whingey boy who doesn't want to know him

How are your children? DS is a little better, certanly had a better night last night. Fingers crossed for tonight

same here - toes crossed too, im knackered
