Chest congestion very restless
DD has had a couple rough nights. She's fine during the day, but wakes at night with productive cough, sounds very hoarse. Is this croup?
She is able to cough up some of the phlegm, but just wants to go back to sleep. Today she started with some upper respiratory, sniffing and sneezing and now the coughing is worse tonight. She sleeps for 30 minutes and then is up again another ten, crying and trying not to cough. Should I just put her in the bathroom and turn the shower on? I have some tea tree oil, but what do I put it on? A washcloth? We don't have a vaporizer or humidifier. I gave her some Advil and some Hyland's sniffles and sneezes. What else can I do?
