Drew started with that around 18 mos. We started him on the Zyrtec and we also get a prescription cough medicine with codiene in it. It is called cheratussin. Drew coughing usually acts up in the Spring and Fall (allergies, grr!). In fact, we have been dealing with it for the past couple of weeks. It is only bad at bedtime and rarely acts up during the day. <BR/><BR/>Now that he is older, we alternate between Zyrtec and Dimetapp. I would ask your pediatrician about possibly getting some of that cheratussin for you to at least use at bedtime. We tried all sorts of over the counter cough suppressants but nothing worked until we got the prescription strength with codiene. It works like a charm! <BR/><BR/>Poor thing needs her rest and so does Mommy!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12899081561673203205noreply@blogger.com
