Many 'experts' think you can probably get 10 days out of cold cuts if properly stored (ie: not in the bag you bought it in). For me personally, since I have a huge aversion to being sick in any way, I only would leave deli meats in the fridge LESS than one week, 4 days maximum.
Nocturnal asthma is another common cause of nighttime coughing in children. Coughing occurs at night primarily because of changes in the airways that occur with sleep. An asthmatic cough tends to be a dry, hacking cough and is frequently accompanied by wheezing.
If your baby's cough is due to a cold and it's bad enough to keep him awake for much of the night, there are ways to make him more comfortable. Clear your baby's airways with over-the-counter saline drops or a saline spray, suggests Dr. Cao, or use a suction, provided by a doctor, to help drain the nasal passages.
