What can i do to relieve my one year old's cough due to a build of phlegm. it has been there for over 4 days and the cough syrup does not help much. she is mostly affected at during sleep?

No cough syrup: At this age in general cough syrup is not effective. Nasal saline and gentle suction, cool air mist humidified air is advised. Keep your child well hydrated, monitor regularly for fever. Treat fever with infant Tylenol. If the cough is associated with wheezing, respiratory difficulty or vomiting, please see your pediatrician right away. A flu vaccination is advised.
