How to get rid of your child’s dry cough
The dreaded night cough. It’s not a wet cough, and to be honest, you’re not really sure where it came from. It could be the start of something, so you rather be safe than sorry right?
My son Elias came home from school coughing non stop. It wasn’t a wet mucousy cough, it was more of a post-nasal-drip type cough. I’m going to be honest, my husband and I are not the type of people to take our kids to the doctors for any little thing. Normally we wait a day, see if symptoms subside at all, and if they got worse or show no improvement we then do some research on the symptoms, typically we know exactly whats going on because 1. we have a zillion kids 2. we’ve seen it all. You name it, one of our children have had it. So I did some research on best medicines for dry cough, and everything was pointing at anything with honey. I had a coupon for Zarbees and decided I’d give it a try. While in the medicine aisle, I came across their Elderberry immune support gummies. I ended up throwing that in the cart because if it was the start of something, I rather give his immune system a little boost.
We gave him his first dose at 3pm, and the next one right before bedtime. We also ran his cool mist humidifier, and we noticed very little coughing that night compared to the night before–He was up all night coughing, literally every 2 minutes he was coughing.
Then the next day we continued with the Zarbees cough medicine, and Elderberry and he barely coughed that day. By the night time, he only woke up a couple times to cough. And by the morning he was not coughing whatsoever. It literally took him 36 hours to beat it, and he never got sick.
In NO WAY is this post sponsored by Zarbees, but I 100% promote their products. It’s all natural and actually works! We’ve tried so many natural brands and none of them worked. So we were pleasantly surprised to see these type of results.
So here is what you’ll need:
- Zarbees Complete Daytime Cough Syrup
- Zarbees Elderberry Immune Support
- Cool Mist Humidifier –This is the exact one we have. just make sure you keep it clean, because if you dont keep up with it, it can expel mold spores. But when clean and used right, it can really help you out.
Hope these three items are able to help your little one out!! Just make sure you stay consistent with the cough medicine! and by no means am I a doctor! If you feel like you need to take your little one to the doctor, PLEASE DO SO! You are your child’s advocate, you know what’s best!
