Some of you may remember Bee had conjunctivitis a week back, well, that's cleared up but she's now got an awful cough, I mean 80 cigarettes a day awful. I took her to the Dr. the other day and her chest was clear, apparently it is a build up of mucous catching in the back of her throat. However, the last three nights she's woken herself up coughing

Personally I'd wait a couple of days to see if there is any improvement. Obviously if she got worse, stopped eating, started vomiting etc. then take her straight back for an emergency appointment.
You're her mum nd you know her best, if something isn't right to you then go back and keep going back until you are reassured she's ok or they do something about it. It could be her breathing has got more snuffly cos she's sleepy?
Just keep offering lots of boob nd cuddles and see how she goes xx

No worries about deleting the comment, I wasn't sure whether things had been revealed so I didn't want to be too obvious ... How are you? Let me know how it goes with the rents, I truly hope they are pleased for you, but like I said before, if they aren't you know you will be fine!

After waking up last night and coughing terribly, she settled down and slept through till 6-30, it is impossible to know what to do.
I read the link below on Bronchitis and Bee isn't showing any of the other symptoms, apart from the persistent cough. I called the NHS direct people and they told me to keep an eye on her temperature and skin colour, both of which I'm now doing.
Thank you so much for your advice tho', it is reassuring to hear from other mums, and thus far you've all been more informative than my Dr!

Mine sneers at me and plays the "over-protective parent" card, even though in her entire 10 months of living I've taken her to the Dr's twice, once she had conjunctivitis and once when she had a terrible cold. Both times they've done nothing only for the situation to get worse... Grrr!

Anyways, I'm ok although was sick this morning but that was from not eating my breakfast soon enough. Feeling much better for it now tho!
