soothing a cold and cough?

[Ldogg]

Hi mamas! What are your favorite tips for soothing a cold - particularly a cough? It seems as though after a few days of a cold, DD (9 months) transitions into a persistent cough phase that tends to occur a LOT at night - which of course keeps her from sleeping well. Any suggestions?

Some of things we already do:

- humidifer

- Tylenol when/if appropriate

- saline drops

- steamy showers

- sometimes bed elevation (though DD is a thrasher and will end up every which direction, which defeats the purpose)

Thanks!
