Long story short myself & DH have had this horrendous cold and ongoing cough for at least two weeks now. I can’t even remember when it started! Our toddler seems to be ok with just a runny nose and odd cough. However our 6 week old started with the same symptoms yesterday afternoon and has gone downhill really quickly. We’ve tried saline spray, snot sucking, elevating, warm air humidifier and a cool mist humidifier. Nothing seems to be helping and I don’t think there’s anything else we can do at this point. He’s struggling with feeds where he’s so congested. I’m tempted to take him to A&E just to see if there’s anything we can give him to help and get his breathing checked over.
Any recommendations? My toddler was born in May so was 6/7 months old when he started getting ill like this and we were able to give him medicine to help him along! It’s been awful seeing our youngest be so ill.
Just to confirm it’s not Covid. We’ve taken multiple tests.
