I've had mine for almost a month, can't shake it. If I could stop the PND, it might be better.

What's PND? Post Nasal Drip? You can get over the counter Allergy stuff for that. Feel better soon!!

That's what I figured it was. There are tons of allergy meds for it. It truly is a PITA.

Yes. I've tried everything, decongestants, allergy, etc... only helps for a little bit, but I can't take those meds often enough to keep up.

Thanx for the concern.

I don't want to get get sick again. She has no fever so I'm glad there but she looks like death.i hate when my kids a sick. So far no Meds are working so I'm going to try some home remedies. It's going to be a long day :/

Find an old cough syrup bottle; wash it thoroughly and make your own cough medicine.

Two thirds of the bottle; clover honey; top it off with whiskey.

One to two teaspoons at bedtime; start with one; and the little one will sleep through the night; no coughing.

My daughter has had it for 6 weeks now. She's been to the doctor three times and we've completed 2 rounds of antibiotics and she's still coughing.

I'm beginning to think shes' developing asthma

If adults passing it along isn't bad enough; if ya have little one's in school, count on the whole household getting sick. That happens every year at this time down at my Brother's place; four school-age kids; and all it takes is one of 'em to bring it home and everybody gets it within a week or two.
Just makes for an uncomfortable holiday; but we manage.

Don't know if this will help

Maybe you could ask your doc to look for asthma specific indicators; or has that already been done?

I hope not. Check in to seeing an Allergist maybe. Asthma can be BAD!

I'm swearing by 1 teaspoon honey and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon...both are antibactirial, antiviral, and antifungal. I had the beginnings of a cold and took it twice a day for three days and my cold was gone.
