[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 298253, member: 1233"] With my boys I find that limiting exercise is generally not in anyone's best interests. thank you will mope around if his is too bad but I generally let how he feels dictate what he can do. I have not found singulair, advair or zyrtec to be helpful, though if we give him benadryl with the zyrtec it seems to help. I didn't know you could double up on those but apparently our allergy doctor thought it was a good idea. He uses the 4 hour version of mucinex, the generic ones. I also get the cough gel pills with DM in them. It seems to work better than the liquid ones. Delsym didn't last the entire time for thank you and these are every 8 hours and seem to work best. We DO fid that the sinus rinse bottle (similar to a neti pot but not done in the shower) makes a HUGE difference. It seems to flush out the ick and pollen and is the most useful thing we have tried. If she is coughing the inhaler should be used every 4-6 hours. Not just when she cannot stop. She can get scars in her lungs if she is not treated with the albuterol enough. Just because seh CAN survive without the inhaler doesn't mean she should. Or so they told us. Does she do well with steam? Just sitting in the bathroom while you shower or just run the shower can be a powerful tool. She will probably hate it, but does keeping her chest warm help the cough? I have thank you put on a sweatshirt or use a warm rice bag on his chest and it really helps. I hope she feels better soon. [/QUOTE]
