Hi,

Phoebe is 5 and a bit months old and has developed a nasty cold. She has had them before but this is by far the worst. Last night she had a shocker with nasty coughing and choking - she sounded like a funny sounding dog (sorry, only way I can think to describe).

We visited the DR today as I was worried about this cough and she checked her and her chest is clear and ears are ok. She says the cough is from stuff running down her throat. I have a humidifier which I will set up tonight but am wondering if I can use vicks to help clear her? (obviously a baby type) If so where do I put it? On her chest or her feet? She is just so blocked up and if the coughing and choking had gotten any worse last night I would have taken her to ED.

Any help would be appreciated.
