Cough
My little one has had a chesty cough now for over a week, debating taking to doctors but just wondered if there’s any good cough medicine or anything to try first? She’s fine in herself but the cough is waking her up in nights not etc

My LOs had cold and cough a couple of weeks ago and I tried over the counter Boots brand of cough syrup (I don’t know your location but I’m in the UK)and after that, Trylix for babies (both for babies). There’s also Benalyn cough syrup for babies (all non drowsy).
They meds pack says after 3 days and the cough hasn’t gone, see / speak to your doctor.
Anyways, I think you should take them to the doctor first, (so as not to take chances with their health) which is what I should have done before trying out over the counter remedies.
But thank God there was no problem and was asked to continue with it after the doc saw them & listened to their chest etc. So it’s really your choice what you wanna do first.
Do see a doc first I would advise, however they did get some relief whilst taking the cough meds & they are ok now - thank God
Aw thankyou! I just bought the benalyn today! So going to see how he goes tomorrow and then take a trip to the doctors I think! Thankyou so much for all the advice! X
