Children coughing at night

TLK - They are 4 and 12. Although I am worried more about the 4 year old. She is prone to asthma attacks whenever she gets these type of bugs. And no she does not take milk at night.

Niksik - If humidifier = steamer, then yes I used it with eucalyptus oil to help unblock her nose.

She seems to have settled down now...after coughing fit for about 15-20 mins. I did take her to doc today. And a blood test confirmed that its not bacterial infection.

NJMasti -...Swine flu thankfully not a huge threat here yet (touch wood)

Muzna - Its definetly related to a cold she caught. Does not seem to have allergies.

Thanks...
