I hate sick kids

I'm sitting here at the computer with Sarah in my lap. She is coughing a lot and she keeps saying, "Mommy, I not feeling so good."

I hate it because I don't know how to make it better. Nothing seems to be working to sooth the cough. And I don't know if it is worth it to take her to the doctor, because I'm afraid he'll just say, "Yep. She has a cough. Come back later if it isn't better."

If you have any suggestions on soothing a 3-year-old's cough, let me know.
