Hi Everyone

Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or tips for getting rid of a runny nose that has hung around for over 2 weeks? DD caught a cold off a friends little boy and was quite bad last week, she had to get antibiotics to clear up an ear infection and had a terrible phglemy(sp?) cough aswell as a runny nose. She finished the antibiotics this morning and seems fine, but her nose is still quite runny and she has a dry cough at night when i put her to bed. Its not making her unhappy or upset (except when i try to wipe her nose!) but i'm getting frustrated that it hasn't gone away yet.

Any advice?

Thanks

At night maybe try a heater on low in her room, as its the night air making her cough worse.
As for the runny nose, cant think of anything sorry

we use Brauer Recovery Tonic after they've been sick. It seems to work quite well, especially after having antibiotics.
We also use the Demazin infant liquid to help with colds, and runny noses - it's fantastic!
