Guest guest Posted May 30, 2003 Report Share Posted May 30, 2003 My son Blake (11) woke up this early a.m. with an AWFUL cough. A non- stop cough! He finally coughed so much he threw up. It sounded just as bad when he breathed in as when he coughed (seal like) We got into the Doc (pediatrician) and he sent us home with three more meds. (that puts him up to 11 meds) My head is swimming keeping all these meds staight on three hours of sleep. His nebulizers are: Tobi, Pulmozyme, Xopenex and now Ipratropium. We did a breathing treatment at 4am. Then did one at the Dr. office at 10:30 another one at 1:00 because he was still coughing his head off. Nothing seemed to help. Tried salt water gargle, hard candies, nebs. hot and cold drinks -- So finally the Doc said to try Robitussin DM That did seem to help some. Any one been through this?? That constant cough. Poor kid is so tired, but still can't sleep due to coughing. Any feed back is appreciated. Shelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
