Hard Cough

My 16 month old has a very runny nose and green, mucus comes out and she has a cough. She very cranky because she not feeling good and uncomfortable. She 22 lbs and 31 1/2 inches long. Any cough Medication or anything i can give her to help with the cough and make her feel better. She has had the cold for two days now.

There’s no cough medicine that u can safely give to a baby under the age of 2yrs old ..and they even wanna start taking that off the markets too.

What u can do is..elevate her head while she’s sleeping. Warm up her milk/ apple juice. Milk produces more mucus so if u can give her apple juice and warm it up a little bit. The warm liquid thins the mucus. Sit in the bathroom with her with the door shut and fill it with steam by running hot water. Or buy a humidifier..the fresh, moist air will help clear her nasal passages and the hot air will also loosen mucous. They also sell baby drops. Where u put a few nasal drops in her nose and suction it out with a bulb suction syriny. She won’t like it but it works wonders.

I had post nasal dripping and because of that I started coughing. The sore throat and post nasal dripping have gone but I still continue coughing. I have no fever and I have no other symptoms. When will the coughing stop? It’s very annoying.

Your throat may still be recovering from the cold. It’s usually the hardest part of having a cold to get rid of.
