hi there, my 2 year old is recovering from a cold and is very congested (lots of phlegm stuck at back of throat, especially when he wakes up). this had led to him vomiting 3 times in the last 24 hours while trying to clear his throat!


does anyone have any suggestions please? we have a snot-sucker (!) and use karvol to help him breathe at night. the main problem is that he can't clear his throat (and doesn't know how to blow his nose) and while trying to cough up the phlegm he vomits - this is always soon after he wakes up.


any advice very much appreciated, many thanks x

I hate it when this happens! My 11 month old just went through this. I find cutting down on dairy helps as I think dairy contributes to making phlegm worse so in my case we just cut out the yoghurt and cheesy pastas (but kept the milk he drinks) for a few days. An expectorant might help break up the phlegm and make his coughs more productive, but in my experience it can also make them cough more as the phlegm breaks up.


Agree with pripolla that steam is good whether in the shower or I've even boiled a large pasta pot of water and added a few drops of olbas oil and placed it under the cot when they sleep.


Hope this helps and that your little one is better soon.

    • The person behind the till won't know about whether or not an assignment of their lease has been purchased by a company like Tesco.  Poundland was sold for a nominal fee so it's unsurprising that the location may close soon. As well, for what it's worth, someone working in the shop is likely to have their job impacted by the shop closing, so having loads of people going and asking them about the potential closing of their shop isn't really nice. "Hey, hear you'll be out of a job soon. Know much about that?" The best resource you all should be using for queries about planning details of new shops is the council's website. As was stated on the first page of this post, there's an application lodged for multiple changes at 29-35 Lordship Lane with the client as Tesco. They wouldn't lodge these plans unless it was happening, or at least extremely likely to happen.    The application is on the council's website here: https://planning.southwark.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?keyVal=SVW246KBKF500&activeTab=summary 
    • It's a notice about a licence, but the only name on it is Poundland.
    • What did the notice on the front door say? The planning applications currently being considered clearly refer to Tesco Stores Ltd.  The signage for above the entrance says "Tesco Express". I can't imagine the two companies combining in the same space 😉  
    • I will find out. Haven't been up there yet!
