I can't find anything to give her that's suitable for a child under 4. Currently I'm using a humidifier, although it doesn't steam it blows cold air, and baby vicks on her chest. It isn't helping!!!

Hylands makes a natural cough syrup. Try vicks on the feet with socks, as well. Other than that, lots of time in a steamy shower. A cool mist humidifier is a must. We keep one going when the heat is on, or he seems to develop a cough.

@bree72: Thank You, looks like we're taking a drive to go get some! I have a vicks humidifier but it doesn't steam, I'll be looking at those too.

@StbHisMrs: Good luck. And I'm not sure if she's actually sick or just has a cough, but my son gets a terrible cough when he's teething because of the extra saliva. But my ped insists on the cool mist over the warm mist for kids, so that's what we use for him. Hope she feels better.

We just use the humidifier and vicks. Our ped said that's mostly all we can do as long as it's a regular cough.
-
Vicks on the feet! I doubt you'll find any medicine that's approved for under 2 or 4... Natural or otherwise.

My naturopath suggested warming socks for our LO.
