(not the flu)...would you give him/her Ibuprofin?  DH and I are having a semi-debate.

    If DC has a fever but I usually give Tylenol for fevers.

    Sorry, forgot to add no fever.  Just a cough and runny nose it looks like.

    Then probably not.  I'd run the humidifier.  If DC was too uncomfortable to sleep, I might give them something.

    fever? usually tylenol, if it does not help or fever is back up quickly then motrin.

    no fever - nothing usually.

    If he was clearly uncomfortable, I would.

    I may not be the best person to ask because I gave Miles some Motrin tonight because he *may* be getting his two year molars. He was just incredibly cranky when we put him to bed and cried for about ten minutes before I gave it to him. He never cries at bedtime (he complains for a minute or two, but never actually cries).

    Only if s/he had a fever and I'd probably do Tylenol before trying Motrin.

    No, not for cold symptoms. Only with a fever that made him/her uncomfortable.
