DS cough for 7 weeks

[Chumbibi]

He is 6 months, I have taken him to the docs and they said there’s not alot they can do. Obviously it’s horrible for him, disturbing him at night. Has anyone had experience of this and what sorted it?

Is he blocked up generally? We found the Calpol plug ins seemed to help (I think they can be used at 6 months, but do check). Warm bath before bed can also help with clearing things out.

DS has very large tonsils which means he's prone to coughs lingering and being especially bad overnight. The cold air doesn't help (he has a horrific one at the moment) and so we make sure to keep his room warm overnight.
