In winter DD had near constant colds... but now it's summer and she still has these little coughing spells. Not necessarily every day, and usually for less than a minute. But when she coughs it's often hard enough to sick up some milk or other food -- usually she coughs most just after she's had a big meal or feed off of me. Can having a full tummy make them cough harder? She coughs more when she's just gone to sleep.
People comment on her couth, and my first didn't do this.
Our local GPs are very asthma happy they diagnosed DH as having asthma last year it turned out to be pnuemonia and went away when MIL dragged him off to see her GP in another part of the country and he was put on 3 lots of antibiotics.
So I'm reluctant to take DD to see a doc. I would hate putting her on steroids unless it was undeniably necessary. She seems very happy & hearty in herself, otherwise.
What do you all think?-j
