DD has a cold and an ear infection...

She has tons of boogers and crap in her throat. Doc said to elevate her at night when sleeping, use a humidifier, and use the bulb. Any other suggestions? It's been about 9 days of this. How long did it take your LO to get over a cold?

Sadly I am a pro at this. My LO was in the ER today with croupe and because of ear infections getting her ears tubed. I advise a nice warm steamy shower before bed and in the morning. It will help clear you LO out, it always helps Abby sleep better. GL

I'm sorry you've been dealing with this. Thanks for the suggeston. She'll cough up the gunk, but swallow right back down. Not sure what to do about that. Do you use the bulb in her mouth?

Thanks, Im glad at least my experiences can help someone LOL. Hopeful it will all be fixed soon Normally she coughs everything up for me in the warm showers. And right after the showers I use the bulb in her nose to get out as much as possible. Hopefully you LO clears up for you soon

I find this to be quicker than the bulb:
