[quote=Anonymous]Instead of just a steroid inhaler, he needs an oral or IV steroid. Prednisone can be administered in an IV for the first dose (but doesn't have to be) and then you take pills for the next week. For example, he might take 6 prednisone pills twice a day for day #1, then only 5 pills twice a day, for day #2 and taper off. This will really help - I've had this issue more than once. Please call his doc and request this. Not sleeping because of a cough is so miserable. Also - put a humidifier in his room and have him sleep on his back but at an angle (kind of reclining) So use 2-3 pillows to make him in a reclined position.[/quote]
