What do you give your LO's when they have a cough?

I've been giving him warm honey and orange (no lemon in )
but he's still really bothered with this cough

Theres not really much you can do hun, i give cough medicine and raise the matress as it seems to be worse when he's laying flat. Other than that just offer a drink. Unfortunatly as with us its just something they have to deal with

Ive been giving c the glycerol cough med but doesnt do much as hers is chesty. I also use a an insulated cup and fill it with boiling water and menthol nd leave it under her cot for the steam to rise up. Seems to help a little

yeh menthol has worked best for cerys - i do the same put some in boiling water by the cot. try and keep the air moist by putting wet towels on the radiators (they have to be warm obviously ) x

tixylix?

Thats ok for younguns isn't it? I used to love it when I was little

Thanks ladies, I can't really leave things round the room as he's in a bed now. I was thinking the tixylix stuff but he does seem a bit better tonight.. its so hard cos i'm having to have the heating on cos its so cold, but then its not doing his cough any favours.

thats where the wet towels will help - putting some moisture in the air xx

I know tixylix always worked for me when I was little
