  Tylenol is the only OTC med at this age and it won't do anything for a cold.  Bust out the nose sucker and humidifier.

  Awe, I feel for you. My little one got her first cold from big sissy at 8 weeks. It was rough. Only give tylonel if they have a fever. I used saline drops. Helps them sneeze so you can get out some of that congestion.
  
  It really does help. Tr

  We always did steam showers, too. Hop in the shower holding LO and crank up the heat.

  My LO is 10 weeks and has had a cold (stuffy nose and a cough) for the last week...just now getting over it. He really appreciates the 'booger sucker', I don't have a humidifier...but should get one. Like PPs said, Tylenol is all you can give at this age

  My little man had a cold recently.  DS enjoyed his warm bath and a warm swaddle  Baby tylenol is it as far as I know. But be sure to add a healthy dose of love and snuggles

  Definitely no cold medicine/decongestant.  I personally wouldn't even give Tylenol since she doesn't have a fever.  The only thing I'd do is saline drops and nasal aspirator/NoseFrida and/or a humidifier.  Hope she's better soon!
