Coughing at night
My LO has had a cough now for the past 6 weeks. We went to the docs two weeks ago who told us to ride it out.. Now the cough has got worse and my lo is coughing more at nighttime for hours on end which is waking him yo but can’t seem to get a docs appointment. Any advice?

Have you tried any medicines or the pharmacist
This is the same as us at the minute, they think my daughters asthmatic. Push and ask questions and be as dramatic as possible or they won’t listen, we were given antibiotics and steroids for hee belly breathing and she is on an inhaler. This is. Atwo year old btw but has always had this since 5 months xx
as he’s under one the pharmacist says medicines don’t actually work 🙁
Have you tried a humidifier or essential oils or a vapour plug in? My lo is 1 with a cough but only had it a week so far
we have indeed, nothing seems to be working 🙈
If you feel the cough is of concern and you can’t get an appointment take your baby to the children’s out of hours to have their chest sounded. The GP gave you advise based on their cough at the time you visited them, that’s not to say they don’t have a chest infection now. Or they may need a steroid to settle it if it’s too bad
agree. We have just been prescribed antibiotics after two weeks of cough with some vomiting at night because it was so strong. I have called 111 🤷
Omg must be something going around, my LO had it too , used a cough syrup and ibuprofen , it’s gone now
