are, a lady from the shoe shop says dlat feet is inherited. My brother had flat foot, but I'll find a good doc to go to..
Cough mixtures:
Usu there are expectorants(Cough out phlgem), muccolytic ones(dissolve phlgem), and one that will lessen the coughing frequency...
GPs tend to give medication too readily. Actually children below 2 or even 3 should see the PD,s coz there are just too many virus and symptoms that r common.
Now, there are the traditional sch of medication like, the dark brown expectorant(dont know the name), mucosolvent, and the herbal kind -sinupret(dissolve) and prospan(lessen cough frequency).
My PD once said if yur child coughs more than 5-8 times badly per hr, cough is quite bad.
Ventolin

ral or inhaled can reduce the coughing fits.
Prenisolone/walasolone : are cortesteriods given if your child has bronchitis/broncholitis which is also similar to the Flixotide/ serentide(inhaled)form.however, if your doc gives the oral cortesteriod, must take because it helps to cut down the inflammation in the airways so that it won't develop to pneumonia.
From my own experience w my girls, bronchitis can come overnight. Usu my girls can have phlegmy cough for 2-3 days w fever, then suddenly, the 4th or 5th day, the cough becomes really really bad. By then, bronchitis have set in ie, they are wheezing. Some kids so bad, I saw in the hospital that the nurse must stick the tube down the throat to suck out the phlegm.
Actually, nvr wait to that stage. Just some sharing.
