cough, no fever 17 month old
My 17 month old came down with a sudden cold/cough 10 days ago. No fever, very runny nose at times so I gave him allium cepa.He wakes up several times at night coughing a lot, and sometimes spitting up clear mucus. Seems fine and happy during the day with coughing fits every couple of hours. Anything I can do to get this out and avoid a bacterial infection? Thanks so much.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
When he has recovered from his present bout of cold/cough I would suggest that you give him just 1 dose of Bacillinum 200 preferable last thing at night about an hour after dinner.
Please note that only one dose of this remedy may be used. It should be repeated in 2 weeks as a booster. This should give him the immunity that he lacks to catch frequent colds.
You can stop his coryza with Gelsemium 30c which should take over in about 15 minutes. It is better to let him cough as he is bringing up the mucus from his throat and lungs.

I was only able to find gelsemium 30x locally. Will that still be effective? I want him to keep coughing, but I'm a bit worried b/c it's been going on for over a week. Please advise if this strength is ok, and how much, how often, since I've already given him a dose, figuring it could do no harm.
THanks!

Gels 30x cannot be used in place of 30c. These 2 potencies are not comparable.
Only the Gels 30c can help your son.
Another remedy that can help his cold is Ferr Phos 30x. 1 tablet 3 times daily.

Consider Justicia (6x) - 4 times daily to start with, tapering off with improvement.
