Hi amberj,

My DD is part way through a cold which started with coughing. She was VERY blocked up within 2 days of the coughing starting, so I got her a vapouriser (i got the Vicks one) which did wonders over the following 2 days to unblock her. She isn't over it completely yet and it's been just over a week, Dr has put her on antibiotics to help but I did find the vapouriser along with panadol kept her comfortable. I knew immediately when the panadol had worn off because she'd hvve 5min+ coughing fits which was difficult for her to breathe.

Maybe try that and see how you go. Good luck. It's not nice when they have a cough so hope your little man gets past it quickly.

P.S. My sister caught DD's cold also and was all blocked up. 1 day with the vapouriser unblocked her also and helped the cough.
