Heating on or off when toddler has cough?

[Lizbiz89]

I never know what is best, heating on or off when it comes to coughs? My ds currently has a very tickly cough which is affecting his sleep. I always feel like I never know what's best when it comes to heating/humidity in bedrooms. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Heating always off at night time

Whatever keeps it a comfortable temperature at night. If we had the heating on during the night, I wouldn’t be able to sleep, it would be boiling. Generally, humidity is more important, so run a humidifier if you have one. Otherwise, a steamy shower before bed and have a drink of water handy.

Window open. Ds has asthma and this helps..

Off

I'd go for hot water bottle in the bed and window open.

Never hearing on at night, cough or not!
