Tips and tricks for dry/tickly cough

[tgm1974]

Bar the usual giving my 2 yr old son cough medicine and rubbing Karvol on his chest does anyone have any tried and tested remedies to help aid with a cough, especially of a night. I know I sound silly questioning about a cough but when your kept awake all night due to him coughing every 30 seconds you will ask the most stupidist question.

I will try anything, within reason of course

for a tot to get relief & sleep is good for healing. Did read label off bottle - bought it for g'son whose mum also refused treatment on docs advice. Child had weeks of illness & passed cough to rest of family.

Why prolong the agony in fear of sugar....if they dont take sugar now they will be just as addicted when older - like the rest of us.

I swear by children's tixylix.., its one of the few cough medicines that isn't just sugary water and does reduce the coughing so your child can sleep, if other remedies don't help.
