  Vitamins, warm soup and lots of love!!  We use a natural cough/cold stuff.  https://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=216767&catid=183069&aid=338666&aparam=216767

  Works some but being not young not much else you can give them.

  Lots of liquids. Humidifier at night. Saline drops and suction the nose out. Motrin/tylenol for pain. There's a honey based "medicine" that's safe for toddlers, and I will use the baby Vicks at night if the cough is really bad.
  

  That's it. There's no real cold medicine that's safe for kids under 4.

  Thanks so much! I wasn't sure if there was anything OTC he could have yet. I put on the vaporizer last night and gave him some Tylenol. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon.

  We use Hyland's Cold and Cough or just Cough because it's homeopathic and uses honey. My dr. said honey has been shown to boost immunity as well, and Hylands is safe for little ones.   We usually don't give her medication unless it's really bad.
