My son, who is four years old…is sick right now. It’s tearing me a part listening and watching him suffer from terrible coughs. The doc says it’s his bodies natural way of getting rid of what is making him sick, and I understand that, but meanwhile, his sleep is disturbed and I give him some Triaminic with some Benadryl to help him rest at night, but his coughs are so harsh. I feel his pain. And at night it seems to be worse because it’s the time when you want to rest and your body is busy still coughing trying to get rid of all the ickies. Bless his little heart…I feel so helpless. Being in the medical field myself helps me to understand that there is so much you can do, and we cannot dowse our childrens bodies with antibiotics or OTC meds expecting a miracle. However, I wish there was one. I just want to snap my fingers and it all go away. My nights are restless since I’m up worrying about him and I check on him constantly.
Any of you feel the same? One of the natural remedies for a cough is tea with lemon and honey, but I can’t get him to drink any during the day. Any other remedies that you have found that work for your kiddos? Please share.
Thanks for the comfort. And sorry this was a bit long winded.
bizzurke: Probably the worst thing your child will ever have to go through. As a parent, I can understand your suffering too. But the child endures the most. I feel for you though. Sorry your situation is worse than mine.
