How can I help my sons cough??!


Question: How can I help my sons cough!?!?
Hi,
My son has had a bit of a cold, I put him to bed last night and he coughed and coughed until he was sick!. (several times)
This morning he was fine!. I put him to bed tonight and he went straight to sleep!. He has just started coughing again!.

Does anybody have any good ideas how to help his cough until I get him to the doctors tomorrow!?

Thanks in advanceWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I've found that rubbing a little children's vapour rub (Snuffles, I think) on the chest helps to alleviate the tickle in the throat!.

When my son has a cough I opt for children's Benyllin cough medicine, which really helps to soothe the coughing!. I also raise his head a little to help him breathe!.

If you call NHS 24 they can give you a list of all-night chemists!.

Hope your little boy gets better soon!.

Coughing until you vomit and only at night could be a sign of asthma!.Try puting him in a steamy room!. Run a hot bath with the bathroom door closed to create a steamy environment then sit with him for a while!. This will open up his airways!. Hope he ok!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

try mixing together hot water, honey, lemon juice and having him drink it, i am a singer and that helps my throat before a concert so you can TRY that!. its kind of icky so just have him gulp it down :] good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
