Home Treatement For Coughing Child...

My poor baby Firdaus is coughing for couple of nights now. Night before he was coughing and vomitting, then he can continiu sleeping. But last night he was straining himself from vomitting and he got problems in breathing that cousing him - not sleeping. Kesian sgt. Aku try sapu minyak panas and bg die minum susu. Die ok skit, cuma ketidakselesaan tu buat die tak boleh tdo jgk.

Home Treatment

Here are some ways to help your child feel better:

• If your child has asthma, make sure you have an asthma care plan from your doctor. The plan should help you choose the right asthma medicines to give.
  
  
• For a "barky" or "croupy" cough, turn on the hot water in the shower in your bathroom and close the door so the room will steam up. Then, sit in the bathroom with your child for about 20 minutes. The steam should help your child breathe more easily. Try reading a book together to pass the time.
  
  
• A cool-mist humidifier in your child's bedroom might help with sleep.
  
  
• Cool beverages like juice can be soothing. But do not give soda or orange juice, as these can hurt a throat that is sore from coughing.
  
  
• You should not give your child (especially a baby or toddler) OTC cough medicine without first checking with your doctor.
  
  
• Cough drops are OK for older kids, but kids younger than 3 years old can choke on them. It's better to avoid cough drops unless your doctor says that they're safe for your child.
