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.
Prepare your bedside. In case you start coughing in the night, have everything you need by your bed -- a glass of water, cough medicine or drops, and anything else that seems to help. The sooner you can stop a coughing fit, the better. Continually coughing irritates your airways, which can make your nighttime problem last longer.
