    thanks so much for your posts. i just went in to his room and used fess up his nose a couple of sprays which seemed to clear it out a little. i also raised the end of his cot slightly using a pillow. he cuddled his teddy and seemed happy. he normally heads off to sleep at 6.30am so i'm sure he'll have a sleep in tomorrow morning! his vaporiser is still going. i also put vicks on some socks and popped on his feet. that baby balsam is not strong enough! i can hardly smell it! let's hope we all get some sleep tonight, poor little fella

    Agh, we have the coughs here too. For my DD, the blocked nose is what does it - breathing through her mouth makes her cough. Horrible, isn't it? It's the worst not being able to do anything. Hoping you all get some sleep.

    Good to hear the coughing has eased.
    I hope you all have a good night rest.

    oh no, it's flared up again tonight. have tried absolutely everything again, this really sucks honestly - it's a dry cough and i can't do a thing for him, i'm so tempted to give him cough medicine, seriously! actually, i don't think i have any! he's been coughing since 6.30pm, it's now 9pm and i have headed in there twice, just put more vicks on his socks, baby balsam on chest and i actually turned the vaporiser off this time, it's really hot and humid in his room, could this be making he cough up the mucus as it's all breaking up? i'm so over this, poor little mite!

    no, just a dry cough, like he has a tickle? i am not sure what to do. he's been coughing now for 3 hours.
