My poor 20mo has had a cold/flu for 2 weeks, but the cough is getting worse. By worse I mean more continuous. So much so that it’s waking him both at night time during his sleep for hours on end (3-4 hours awake last night) and from his naps. He’s chronically overtired now and this has been going on for a few days. Have tried infant appropriate cough syrup, honey, keeping him hydrated - nothing is working. I even try to let him sleep on me but he still coughs his guts up and he cant rest so the upright position doesn’t help. He is now coughing more during the day too. In bouts but still very frequent.
what do I realistically do? Just wait it out? If it’s impacting his sleep this much is there anything or anyone that can help? I feel helpless! Can’t do GP now as it’s late on Friday.
