Humidifier may help, the one with Vicks bc mostly the Dr will adv no type of medication unless its a virus.

my lo has had a cough for months doc says cool mist humidifier and letting the bathroom steam up and sit in there with them. not much you can do medical wise

@misstiff ok thanks i hope it helps

misstiff

also, try propping up the crib so if they cough at night, it'll help with the mucous coming up and hopefully out. hope your lo gets better!!
