My little dude is miserable.

He has two teeth coming in, a cold and a big bruise on his head that he got while I was in the shower and DH was in charge.  When I asked DH how that happened he said, "I dunno I was trying to put socks on the daughter and he was suddenly on the floor crying."  The poor guy is going to the doctor today so I can find something to help him and restore my sanity.  The little guy normally eats as long as you keep giving him food.  In the last 24 hours he has barely eaten anything and he has only had about 16oz of Formula.  He just won't take it, or water, or milk or even apple juice (I was hoping to get fluids into him by tempting him with the sweetness of juice.  No go.)

He will play for five minutes and then cry until I pick him up.  But at the best of times DS doesn't like to be held so he squirms and cries until I put him down and then he squirms and cries until I pick him up.  He wants his pacifier but can't breathe while plugged in so he spits it out and cries because he wants it to feel better.  Essentially he has a baby man cold.  It's the worst ever.  His big sister keeps looking at him like, "Dude, you have a cough and stuffy nose.  Suck it up man."  

I have done the following so far,

Vaporub on the feet

vaporizer in the room

saline spray in the nose

Tylenol for the teeth.

Have I missed anything?

    Poor sweetheart.  When C was/is teething, we had to ditch the Tylenol for infant Advil.  It worked so much better.  I'm sorry, I hope that he feels better soon!

    Poor guy and poor mommy!

    Tylenol works like crap on my kids. We are Motrin people all the way! Plus it works for 8hrs instead of just 4. I suggest using that.

    Good luck!!

    How about steaming up the bathroom and doing a little sauna in there with him?
