Caring for children with coughs

The University of Bristol have created a website following collaboration between researchers and parents around what information parents wanted to know when their child had a cough.

Parents told them the available information didn’t always answer their questions and some was hard to find. They were not always sure which information could be trusted.

A leaflet has been developed which contains information about how to look after a child who has a cough (not due to asthma).  

Please share this information with parents/carers.
