Terrible cold

So my DH got a nasty sinus infection last week and since then me and both the boys have come down with a cold. DS is now almost 16 weeks and has terrible congestion and a cough. He was able to sleep through the night but was up coughing all night never seemed to keep him up. In going to call first thing on Monday morning to get an apt, but do you think I can wait till Monday. ?? I'm nervous with him being so little. I'm just nervous with his cough. I hate colds!

Re: Terrible cold

  • Chris is going through the same thing! Yesterday he woke up and sounded so congested! Then he sneezed and sure enough clear/white snot came out. I called his pedi and he said no meds but suction out snot often. He suggested making a saline solution or using breast milk to loosen up dried snot/boogers then use suction. I'm not sure if your sons appetite has changed or he's still acting like his normal self but you may also want to consider teething. It's about that time! Keep an eye on him and use a humidifier...it's helped out a lot for Chris!
