Mucus plugs

crickit715 · Dec 9, 2009

my daughter has been coughing only through the night and in early morning (this is new to her). her doc said she is trying to expel mucus plugs. she will be 2 the end of this month and i need suggestions on how to help her "get them out". her lungs seem very irritated (i assume from the dry air indoors and cold air outside) and the cough is very quick and forceful, but not productive. any help would be appreciated, were both losing sleep!!! (((yawn))) thanks.

Hypertonic saline was the single most useful addition to my son's treatment - it immediately made a difference in the motility of his mucus. It took quite a while for us to convince the Dr. to prescribe it because she felt like pulmozyme was better. not so. We've also run steam humidifiers in the bedroom when the air has been really dry in winters - we disinfect it daily and it has a filter and UV system that we hope takes care of the bacteria concerns.
