The stuffy nose is driving me nuts!

Tomorrow will be a week that LO has had a stuffy nose.  Its so bad that she struggles to drink her bottle and eat solids.  She's only taking 12 oz of formula a day at the most.  She's having a horrible time sleeping as well.  We've been to the doctors twice and the second time the gave an antibiotic.  They feel shes got a sinus infection since her fever wasnt going away and she continued to be stuffy.  I havent seen any improvement yet. 

I am giving her vapor baths, I am running a humidifier and vicks plug-in in her room, using saline spray and sucking her nose.  I have also been applying vicks to her feet and back- havent seen much help from it. Any other suggestions to help her nose?

All in all she is miserable.  I feel so bad for her.  I'm ready for the stuffy nose to be cleared!

    We have the snotty nose here too! It is the worst because I feel totally helpless....last night we took a vapor bath, gave her Advil in the bath, vapor rubbed after the bath, suctioned snot and put her to bed and she slept great! I don't know if it will work again but it worked last night :) Hopefully your antibiotic will kick in and start working. The night before we propped her mattress with a pillow under it and that seemed to help until I found her halfway out of her crib the next morning since it was a hill for her to climb. We haven't had a real high fever yet ( knock on wood) how high did yours get?
