    i know this might sound funny but it works..rub a generous amount of vicks vapourub baby balsam on the bottom of each foot before going to bed and put cotton socks on. its ment to stop nightime coughing, i was abit hesitant at first lol but it really did work for my DD

    for your DD i would definatly use the baby one as i think the normal recommends not to use under 2 years, ive got the baby one and that is suitable for upto 5 years so you can use it for your DS too

    let me know how you go

    We've had this for months, and finally the doctor has given us something that works !

    Mind you, the doc *did* say Pip has/had "bronchiolitis" and prescribed a regime of ventalin (to open the airways) and cortisone (to boost the circadian rhythm). It's really worked for us. But again, that's under medical care ...
