Poor baby girl! I hope that this is it for a while for her.
You can get inner health plus for kids that has an immune booster in with it - my DD takes it alright so it probably doesn't taste too bad. That might give her some more strenth to fight it?
Aw There are some awful bugs about at the moment.
Do you have a vaporiser? I have found ours to be SUPER helpful in the past for getting a good nights' sleep when particularly Phoebe got colds/coughs. We are currently living in a fairly damp house so I'm reluctant to bring it out again even though last night she coughed practically all night long.
It is so totally heart wrenching when they're that sick. Hope she bounces back really soon.
I do Snacks, But it seems to make her cough more!?! Might try it again tho.
I got both girls checked as her sister has the same cold.
And the Dr's think its a common cold, fuelled by asthma. But I dunno, I disagree. It's not a common cold, I would agree for DD1, her temp is fine, has the runny nose and a dry cough. But DD2 her temps have been getting high, 38+, coming down with panadol, her cough is wet, and she choaks trying to bring it up, her breathing is wheezy, shes fatigued. She wants to see her back on Monday and told me to keep up with the ventalin, and give her another dose of redipred (you do it in three day cycles)
Odd that it makes her cough more... that's not so useful! I find that if P's nose is blocked (like last night) then she coughs non-stop cause of the breathing through the mouth thing. The vapours help her to breathe through the nose. I smothered her in Vicks last night and will do tonight too.
Good that the Panadol is helping keep the temp under control - I imagine that's what's making her so lethargic and uncomfortable? Has she got any spark to her (ie does she respond or talk or become happy about anything)? I always try to look for some 'spark', even if brief, and that reassures me that they're ok.
Is she eating and drinking?
