So we have all been sick for over a week now (sore chest, runny nose, lots of coughing, sneezing etc) and I actually had to go back to my doc yesterday as I haven't been feeling any better since last week, so she finally gave me antibiotics. I got sick last week Saturday and I feel 10 times worse now than I did then. Anyhoo, my LO is now sick too, with a runny/blocked nose, lots of coughing, but luckily no big temps (just slightly elevated). Last night he was up every hour, crying, because he couldn't breathe through his nose as he also wanted his dummy. I am so tired today . So we had the vicks on the chest and feet, the vapouriser in the bedroom, the head of the mattress lifted slightly, room was not cold, gave him panadol and the cough supressant mixture before bed. Is there anything else I could do to make his sleep more comfortable? He could only be settled whilst upright on me, and then he was able to breathe a bit better.

TIA.
