A cold and molars

Makes for one miserable Preston! He's thrown up a few times, diarrhea, runny nose, cough, fever, whiney, clingy, he refuses to eat much and all he wants to do is sleep! My poor boy. Any suggestions for helping to soothe him?

What have you tried?  Ibuprofen works well to reduce the swelling and keep the pain in check.  Otherwise a cold wash cloth to chew on helps, plenty of clear liquids and of course lots of cuddles!

I say let him sleep if off if he'll do it.

He just puked his milk all over me and then all over DH. I managed to get him to drink some pedialyte and now he's sleeping. Poor guy.

We are going through the same thing and Gator didnt want to eat. I have discovered she likes frozen waffles and half frozen peaches to munch on.

Everything else we have been taking in stride...Pedialyte, baby Vicks, saline in the nose, lots of diaper cream so no rash on the tushy.
