    Hi ladies,
    A quick update and another question DS has improved over the last 2 days, I have the vapouriser going on in his room, I elevated his mattress and I was putting vicks on his feet and a tiny bit on his chest. Well I thought he was getting better, but then he started coughing more and yesterday I took him out for a walk to mums, and the day was so lovely and sunny and hardly any breeze, and then last night he kept waking himself up with this cough. It sounded like that cough you get when you have an itch in your chest or throat, poor poppet. Is there anything I can do for his cough? Still no temp, and he seems happy otherwise. I ended up taking him to bed with me again last night as DF is o/s ATM so we have the bed to ourselves, but I'm dreading another night of coughing. I ended up giving him panadol last night when the coughing wasn't settling. He does spend a lot of the time on our lino floor in the kitchen/dining which is just concrete and he's usually commado crawling on the cold surface. Would that make the coughing worse as his chest is cold?? Any advice would be great
    Thanks
    B xx

    Oh i forgot i posted in here Sounds the same as DS he cleared up for a few days and then got a bad cough! Still no temp either. I ended up taking him to the doctors to check him out as i figured 3 weeks of it warrented a visit. Anyways he ended up having a swollen ear drum on the right side and tonisilitis. I thought he would have had a temp with that! anywho the doc said he was fighting it off well but it had gotten to the point where he needed a little help to rid of it.

    If you think he may had a sore throat you can add alittle hunny in with some warm water and a splash of lemon juice and get him to have a few sips. Sounds like you are doing everything right though

    Hope he is feeling better soon! This time of year alwasy sucks for these kinds of things xoxo
