7-month old with cold (and teething) - advice please

Hi! Baby G has a cold with a clear runny nose and is teething at the same time. We just gave him teething tablets and Motrin, but what should I do about the runny nose?

 

Thanks!

poor thing!  He's having a rough weekend!  not much you can really do about the runny nose except bulb, humidifer and Boogie Wipes!  My LO tolerates those much better than regular tissues for some reason when he has a cold.

Good luck!

You can also use a warm wet washcloth to wipe under the nose. My babies fight me when I use regular tissues but are usually okay with a soft washcloth.

If he's congested, you can try taking him in the bathroom whenever anyone showers. We have family bathroom time when the little ones are all clogged up. The warm moist air helps a lot, but only for a little while.

you can use a humidifier too
