Eighteen dollars and 3 different bottles of honey later (leading to Buckwheat), the child would prefer to take actual cold medicine over the taste of honey. She looked right at the dose, went to drink it, and turned away and said NO! We dipped it into her paci, and she reluctantly sucked on it. Then she proceeded to gag and actually almost vomited! She hasn't "almost vomited" at anything since she was a newborn!
She was repulsed. Amazing. She will drink the cough medicine straight up just for fun if we let her.
She has a 2:40 doc's appt today, likely for them to tell me she's got a cough, let's wait it out, thank you very much for the $20 co-pay. She's had the cough going on 2 weeks and it's bad a night. No snotty nose...only chest congestion. I guess we'll see!
At least she's napping without a fight.

Valerian works well. Try that. You can buy alcohol free tincture at Whole Foods. I'd also put chamomille tea (extra steeped) in her sippy. Slip the honey in the food.
Sounds like bronchitis is progressing from a secondary infection after a primary virus. Night time humidifiers with eucalyptus and sage oil helps resolve it. It's something like runners knee for the lungs, to put it in awesome therapy terms for you guys.
Thanks Annie, I am totally going to try ALL of that tonight!!
