Mrs Bear it sounds like you need to take Wes to see a very good
asthma doctor for one thing.

And next I would also have Wes checked out for COPD. It has to
do with things related to asthma, smoking and stuff like this.

I would definately say that a sinus infection, a cough that wont go
away for more than a short period, and things like this is more than
just a common cold.

There is a variation of asthma that is a cough and its possible that
Wes has this. Also does Wes have a inhaler to use every 4 hours
for his trouble breathing.

It would be much better if they would let him have a nebulizer and
if he can handle a face mask to use this. Also I would suggest getting
a nose spray of just a saline and using this too. It will help.

I am doing both my regular veramist and a nose saline solution both.

I found in the hospital if I could keep my nose moist it helped a lot.
Not exactly for the cough but for me nothing helps the cough.

Not even the narcotic things.

But you could ask for what is called a tessalon perle cap 100 mg
Its just a small little round gel pill. Its something I found for
Derrick a few years ago the works. I can sometimes use them
and they might work.

Now we have found that if we get luck the tussin gel drops work
for Derrick.

Nothing is working for mine, except hot tea with sugar and creamer
or milk.
