| Crating him might help... Then you can put the crate far far away from you two. But make sure not to let him out when he wimpers... then you'll never be able to crate train him! |

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Cindy, I'm sorry....I have no useful suggestion, (short of crating dh ), as I am going through much the same here. I've picked up a respiratory bug (first one in years); but, thank the good Lord, it does not keep me or the family up. If dh decides to crate me, I'll let you know how that works out .

| By using a cool mist vaporizer near the bed helps too. Keeps the nose and throat moist or something. It works for us.

| Your Dh might try cognac or whiskey before going to bed, if it doesn't work, then maybe you could try ALOT of whiskey or cognac and then you won't really mind if he coughs? Seriously though, I use cognac for myself (about 1 oz) and it seems to soothe the throat and stop the coughing. It also makes me feel reallly good too!

Lovin' 2 Girls Donating Member | Okaaaaay! I thought maybe you were concerned about Gizmo getting a good night's sleep, and suggest moving him.

| One tablespoon of honey!!! It works like a charm. When they were taking all the meds for kids off the shelf I didnt know what to do. Well someone had done a study and found it to work better then the meds. We tried it and it worked great!!! Let me know if you try it and if it works for you.
