keep a close eye on her if you do the steaming. it does work for some, but the hot humidity of that makes my asthma worse..

Get some Manuka honey in case this happens again, I found it soothed my DS's throat with two dreadful viral coughs this winter. I took some when I had pleurisy before Christmas and it worked for me in conjunction with my asthma inhalers which were not doing it on their own.
