[angelbow20]

ANy body have any good idea of home remedies i can give my son? He is getting a croopy cough (sp.) and and has a really bad runny nose. I want to give him something for his coughing because he never gets sleep, throws up like crazy from coughing so much, get bad fevers and never eats. So any ideas on what really helps get rid of the cough and runny nose for a 3 yr old?

I hope I'm not out of line but I strongly recommend taking him to the doctor as soon as you can. It sounds like he needs the help of a professional. I hope he feels better soon. Poor little guy

I was thinking the exact same thing but couldn't think of a way of not being rude because (sorry if this offends you) but my first thought was " well here's a thought...take him to a doctor." I mean that was my first thought and he isn't my son so I thought it would naturally be a mothers first thought especially if her son isn't eating, sleeping and is vomitting. But hey that's just me.

The last time my son was acting like that i rushed him to the hiospital, because he was coughing horribly and throwing up as well. They had to give him IV fluids because he was so dehydrated, they also gave him antibiotcs and i had to give him Pedialyte for a week after! I would take him to the doctors! please!

I agree, he needs to see a doctor. Also, do you smoke? If you do, this could contribute to his problems. If you don't, then he really really needs to see a doctor, actually he should see one anyway, but smoking can greatly contribute to coughing, runny noses, and getting sick easily. Hope he gets better soon.
