We have a runny nose, nasty cough (isnt coughing a whole lot, but sounds bad when he does), no fever or rash just seems snotty!

I am using saline drops and a nose sucker, but it is a fight to use either. I put a humidifier in bedroom, used baby vix and propped up the end of the crib. What else can I do? Is there any meds I can try? Im sure the extra cold weather isnt helping at all.

Please give me some suggestions.

Thanks

What can I do next?

Give her some probotics, if you can. They will help her immune system. There is a product I LOVE, that is totally safe. It helps with all the congestion and really works well.

No meds.....Do you give the baby vitamins? try the Tri-vi-sol if you don't. It has vitamin C and D both important for the immune system. I know it's no fun having babies sick. Mine have had cold as young as 2 months. I usually have them sleep in the bouncer to help prop them up more.

Lots of cuddles. Sometimes being upright helps them clear enough to breathe better. Sorry there isn't more you can do.

My daughters Dr says no meds until 3 yr old. :( Sounds like you are doing everything you can. Just keep it up and this too shall pass. GOOD JOB M.!
