So my daughter has been coughing this icky, throaty, congested cough since before December. At first we assumed it was a cold and she'd get over it, then my son had whooping cough and we thought she'd gotten a touch of it, too. But, now she is still coughing and gagging up flem.

It basically happens most when she just goes off to sleep, whether in bed or in her carseat. She'll be asleep for a few moments nad she suddenly begins to cough and sneeze. She sometimes gags and a bit of flem comes out. I can almost set my watch to her cough in her carseat. She'll fall asleep and within about 2 minutes it starts. It seems to be most prevalent when the air conditioner is on, though it happens when it is not on, too.

I know she's sick of it. And I ma sure her poor litlle tummy muscles get sore. Probably her throat, too.

Any wise words, BTDT's or advice would be sooooo appreciated! I don't want to make an appointment until I've tried everything.

OH, we just cleaned molld from our bedroom wall this past weekend (it was behind the dresser in our room where we all sleep) and she's still coughing...

TIA sooo much!
