    Hey girls

    Just seen this thread and feel a lil bit better about both my DD and DS...they both have a consistant cough and yesterday went to the SIL place and they were all so concerned bout DS...we went to the doctor and he said his chest was clear and its just one of those coughs that will prob hang around for a bit considering the weather...its also like it tickles his throat and just keeps coughing, his is worse at night and morning... Same with DD.. shes actually on antibiotics that are about to finish, its her 2nd dose but the cough is still there...hate getting those looks, I know they are ok, always check their temps and give panadol if needed... I think young babies and children just get these coughs that are hard to shake until the weather warms up.

    Make some onion syrup (google it). It sounds awful but its pretty much onion soaked in honey and strained off. It soothes the cough and you can give it to them as needed. I have a jar in the fridge for winter. It works.
