Parenting after a Loss

Cold? Anything I can give her?

I think DD has gotten a cold. H and I were both sick a couple weeks ago and his cold turned into pneumonia. She's been sneezing a lot more than usual and coughing a little. Not a congested cough, but a cough none the less. Her eyes also look a little glassy and teary sometimes. I've been sucking her nose out, but is there anything else I can do for her? I also have the humidifier on at night. Thanks!

  • DD had a cold when she was about 2.5 months.  We gave her some homeopathic remedies, used the humidifier, "steamed" her in the bathroom with the shower running and sucked out her nose.  I ended up giving her Tylenol one night to help her sleep (but this doesn't actually cure the cold - nothing really does but time!).
  • I agree with just humidified air - steam from the shower and tylenol if she has a fever or is fussy. Feel better soon Addy!
