Ok, we need to kick this!

G and i had a little cold two weeks ago. It wasn't even worth calling a cold, just a sore throat for me a little nasal congestion for G. I have a horrible tendancy to have a lingering cough after congestion. On the tune to 4-6 weeks of coughing after a tiny little cold. G has inherited it :( theres still some congestion, but its mkstly just a ticklely cough. I'm doing so much: teas, homemade cough syrup, elderberry syrup, lympha rub, eucalyptus steam showers, homeopathic cough tablets. Nothing relly helps more than a little bit. We really need to kick this!! Anything I'm not thinking of?

Do you run a humidifier in the room at all?

I've e been meaning to dig it out! the house isn't feeling overly dry, but it definitely couldn't hurt.

The humidifier is helping at night! During the day not so much, and any time I have to talk :no

Has a doctor ever talked about asthma to you or suggested using an inhaler for your cough? :think

The humidifier helped tremedously! I dont have any breathing or lung problems when it's not this tickle so i don't think its anything more. At this point a lot of it is mental, a tiny little tickle in the back of my throat and i 'have' to cough. Gabe is completely over his!
