Ryan's October cold started with a trip to the ER for (what turned out to be) croup on Oct 1. His breathing improved each night for 3 days until he was breathing fine on night 3. He had some congestion and coughing the first 5 days, and it quickly improved after that. He was 90% through the cold on day 8, which is amazing for him!
I gave 50 mg guaifenesin 2x/day days 2-7. The mucus definitely stayed high in his respiratory system, which was great. It never dropped into the chest, and it never seemed really thick and "stuck" anywhere. I also increased vit D to 10,000 IUs a day for 3 days. We did or normal encouragement of lots of water during a cold.
Josh caught this cold, and so did Grandma Beverly. Mom warded it off at the onset by taking super doses of vitamin D for 3 days.
