sit in a steamy bathroom - very hot for you but the humidty may help?

Cremola how long has this been going on for?

Poor dd

steam - over bowl of hot water with olbas or lemon oil. Ioniser in room? Bowl of water in bedroom.

Might be worth getting checked out dd had this for ages and it turned out to be a chest infection that hadn't gone away.

no infection and not viral.at gp today .gp says it will go away and to keep her warm and rest.she has been at her granny's for easter week and has had it the whole time. Granny has similar.
i can hear her hacking away in her sleep.i gave in and gave her a piriton in the hope she might sleep tonight- but still cough cough coughing away poor kid.
i made some lemon and ginger juice for her and have a peppermint oil and tea tree oil burner going in her room.
damp weather not helping. i feel somehow she needs a few days in the sun or something.
have looked online and might try sepia( homeopathic) as it seems to fit. worth a try maybe?
