It is now winter here. Now for last 9/10 days caugh is developed. Consulted with Doctor. Antibiotic drops prescribed for 4 days (2.50 ml once daily). Also prescribed T-sumic alergetic drop. using 5 drops in 3 times daily.
But there is no development in day 2 after using the medicine. Please give suggestion.

Same exact problem with my son ever since he wwas 3 months old!
He rubbed his nose on the pillow and coughed alot...I started laying a towel over his pillow and it seemed to soothe him...I still put one over his pillow every night.
But the thing that was a life saver was a cool mist vaporizer and saline nasal drops. Every night when he goes to bed he has the vaporizer on, and if hes sounds really stuffy I give him decongestant and use the saline drops. The drops really help because they clear away any stobborn mucous that is stuck in the nose. (helpful before feeding, too) And then of course I have the towel over his pillow... which I think is more soothing than a pillowcase because it absobs any moisture from his nose and keeps it from seeping into the pillow so it doesnt stay damp and uncomfortable. Hope these little tips help you!

A cool mist vaporizer...it is a machine which you put water into, and vaporizes the water and sends it into the air. You will use it in the room that he sleeps in. It really is helpful...You can buy them at CVS, KMART, WALMART, or any other store like these.
The cool mist vaporizer is similar to a humidifier, so when you buy it dont get them confused. Humidifiers use heat to steam the water and you dont want that.
Good luck and let me know how it goes! If you need more of an explination about the vaporizer let me know.
