Nate's Cough

Nate has been coughing for the last week or two, but it's been really mild. Maybe a few times a day. In the last few days it has gotten much, much worse. It is affecting his naps (boo!) and at night sometimes he breaks into coughing fights so bad that he gasps for air. It's super scary. Yesterday I took him in to the doctor. He thought it was an odd case, because there's no sign of infection or anything else that would make him cough like this. His ears are all cleared up and the two things do not seem to be related. He thought it might be allergies (he might be more prone to allergies and asthma because of his eczema). So he gave us a two-week trial supply of Singulair. My hope is that the cough goes away and stays away even when the medicine is done. I hope it's just a cold that will eventually be gone, and not allergies or something he'll have to deal with much longer.
