Re: Serious Cough
Ahhh pneumonia, I had that and I know how bad it can be with the coughing. Unfortuinatley it will remain until the pneumonia clears up, but whilst I had pneumonia, I found the only cough syrup that only really worked (on the symptom not the cause) was 'simple linctus'. It's what they gave me in hospital, but can be bought over the counter at the pharmacy and is actually very cheap. Also it would help her get a better night's sleep if she slept more upright propped up with a pillow. Finally, sucking on a sweet like a fruit pastille also helps to surpress the cough.
Hope that helps!
