What can I give a toddler for a dry cough?

[CrystalBoo]

My open-minded doctor recommended an ivy leaf extract to me called Prospan. You can get it at the chemist and I feel it really does help with those all night coughs.
Interestingly, the doctor mentioned it has similar properties to Ventolin in that it helps to open the airways.
The dose is for 3 times a day, but I start the first one before bed, then usually have to only give one more dose sometime through the night to get the benefits.

[Doing my best]

We give our DD manuka honey, so if you have given your DS honey in the past, that would be my suggestion..

We also do the vicks on the chest and feet, along with nurofen or panadol.

And it does seem to provide relief here.

Good luck. It is so hard working out what helps them when we just want to take the yuckiness away for them.
