It's the middle of the night in the UK...I've been awake the past two hours with my daughter who has the most persistent annoying cough ever! It's been going on 3 nights, I'm separated from her dad, work full-time and I'm soooo exhausted.


Does anyone have any ideas how to relieve the cough? Tried the cough medicine, propping her up on pillows, drinks etc. She's not unwell as such, just won't stop coughing. She's in bed with me cos she'll often v* thru coughing (i can deal with this, not contagious!!).


I've been awake for the past two hours, there's no let up. Need to be up in three hours for work. It's driving me crazy...I feel sorry for her of course but i'm getting desperate here. Any advice? Thanks.
