PLS help: 8 yo nasty persistent cough

[Penny4Them]

My DD has a nasty cough. No fever no cold no lethargy, but it's now day 6. Any suggestions? Poor love isn't sleeping well b/c of hacking.

This is what we've been doing:
Grapefruit Seed Extract tab 2X/day
Shot glass of OACV and honey and warm water 2x/day
1,000 IU Vit D/day
Probiotics
Natural Vick's type of rub on her feet that helps somewhat at night.
Herbal Supp for Kids Cherry Bark Extract
Sovereign Silver spray 2x/day (throat)

I fear she may need ABX and I want to avoid. She also has black rings under her eyes which is making me wonder if it's bacterial or Strep, as Strep is going round in her school.

I'd be SOOO appreciative of any add'l ideas to help clear this up before I have to take her to doc. Do you give anything to help suppress cough at night?

Thanks for any ideas.

I have no advice but am bumping this thread because my 5yo has a similar cough. It had been just nights but now he is coughing continuously throughout the day.

How is your daughter?
