ok, it was a better night, and today the cough has broken, its music to my ears.

I slapped vicks all over her and gave her the inhalers, which to my mind don not make any difference to the cough but perhaps, long term use of the preventer WILL help kep her airways open more?

The gp said 48 hrs for croup, and ot seems like it was that, as it startd off with a mild cold.

Yet its always misleading, as sometimes I think its a pollen thing.

The dairy thing is soemthing I have wondered about, becase ex got it into his head he was intolerant to dairy, before he made up his mind it was wheat. He had and has skin problems, so i thought it may be genetic.

She is going to his for the weekend so I hope she feels even more better 2morrow.
