Dry Hacking Cough and Runny Nose!

My 4 1/2 yr. old has a dry, hacking cough and a runny nose...we are uninsured at this time, so if this is not an emergency, I am not inclined to take him in yet. What I am wondering, is has anyone dealt with this before with a remedy that helps? I have done the Triaminic Flu cough and fever..cause he was lethargic and running a fever for a day...now for two days he is having the dry hacking cough...we have done the cough and chest congestion DM..Another cough med. Cough drops...which he won't do..doesn't like them. Warm water with honey!...

2 Yr Old Won't Drink Pedialyte

Hello, My 2 year old daughter has a slight cold, little fever, so far no vomiting.( Thank god!) But will not drink pedialyte....any flavor! Nor will she drink the Walgreens brand, the CVS brand....none of them. So my question is, is there anything else I can give her that won't cause diharrera or dehydration, like juice can? She will drink some water, but not as much as she will if it was juice. Thanks in advance.

Refusing to Take Pedialyte

My son is 8 months old and is vomiting. I have tried giving him different pedialyte flavor drinks to help reduce dehydration, but he is refusing to drink them. He did take a bottle but unfortunately that came back up after an hour. What can I give him instead or is there another way to give him pedialyte to ensure he stays hydrated?
