Be careful about the honey cough mixture someone mentioned - I know Clodagh is now over 1yo but I dunno that botchalism (sp?) thing is a bit scary...]]> Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:29:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1117451&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1117451 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : We borrowed a vapouriser from...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1117447&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1117447 Author: Dani01

We borrowed a vapouriser from a friend to put in her room at night, that did wonders.

Also we kept taking her back to the Dr every couple of weeks, they never really said anything about it, until last time when her ears were a bit red and her glands up a litlte they prescribed amoxycillan, I know you said no medicine but her cough has since disappeared after the antibiotics.

Hope you guys get better soon. ]]> Tue, 03 Aug 2010 20:23:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1117447&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1117447 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : nathansmummy is right, thats why...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115924&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115924 Author: Shezamumof3

nathansmummy is right, thats why I kept taking Bella back as I wanted to make sure as she seemed to be getting worse not better, but it was still viral, no yellow nasties, just a lot of coughing and no voice.]]> Mon, 02 Aug 2010 12:31:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115924&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115924 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : olive leaf! amazing for viral...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115487&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115487 Author: skp

Put the oils or vicks in the crock pot in her room at night. Dry air makes them cough more. Just need to air her room out when shes awake.]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:24:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115243&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115243 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : Just to note that sometimes viruses...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115213&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115213 Author: nathansmummy

Just to note that sometimes viruses can turn bacterial so if her mucous becomes yellow/green take her back to the Dr ]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 12:25:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115213&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115213 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : Oh thanks Sheena- I was wondering...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115212&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115212 Author: Emmecat

You could try a lemon and honey drink, but she may not like it.

Other than that there really isnt anything you can give them under 2 :(
Isabella had a nasty cough a few months ago lost her voice and all, I took her to the dr 3 times over 3 days and got told the same thing, its viral She looked so awful, was not a happy wee girl.

I hope shes feeling better soon *hugs*]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2010 10:08:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115140&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115140 <![CDATA[Bad cough in 14 month old :( : ....Poor old Clodagh has a bad...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=35017&PID=1115098&title=bad-cough-in-14-month-old#1115098 Author: Emmecat

....Poor old Clodagh has a bad cough which I think is part of this cold we both have. I also have the cough but it's more distressing for her I'm sure!

The Dr seems to think it's just viral so not much we can do but wait it out, however I wondered if any of you guys had any ideas on what we could give her (preferably non medicinal) to help soothe it?

Right now I'm putting drops of eucalyptus and lavendar in a bowl of water at night in her nursery so that the heat of the heater sets off their scents... sometimes I put a little Tui cold balm on her chest.....anything else??

She's eating well and apart from being a bit grizzly (teething too...sigh), she just looks poorly rather than acting overly so.

Any tips on how we best help her deal with this gratefully recieved...we're off on hols tomorrow and taking a flight so a bit worried about that too. I guess I can just BF during take off and landing to stop any ear pain?
