Can't Kick the Congestion

My daughter had RSV back in January and then Feb 14 I brought her back in because her hacking persisted and temperature spiked back up again. She tested negative for RSV and they said she had an ear infection. She was on amoxycillan for 10 days. Her hacking/congestion still persist with runny noses. I am sucking her nose out every morning and a few times a day over the weekend. The Dr said the congestion could last up to 8 weeks when she got the RSV. It has been that long and is still very bad in my opinion to the point that I am...

10 Month Old with Sensitive Gag Reflex and Vomiting When Coughing

My 10 month old has a very sensitive gag reflex and throws up very easily when he coughs. Ever since he was an infant, if he drank too fast and I didn't burp him often, he would throw-up, projectile vomit. I would burp him often to control the vomiting. Now that he's 10 mos old and eating solids, if he has a cold or upper respiratory infection, he cannot move the mucus in his throat, so he vomits sometimes when he coughs. Last night I slept in his room and he threw up in the night. I am afraid he will do it again and choke on his vomit...
