Cold care

Hello, 

My dd has a bad cold. We went to the pedi and she said it is just a cold.  I wanted to see if any of you have any special tools or medicine you use when you little one is sick. We do a lot of liquid and some Tylenol for fever. I tried some honey too. 

Thanks for all the help.

    Saline drops in the nose and a humidifier.

    We use baby Vicks too. On his nose and the bottom of his feet, with socks.

    Exactly what is above. That saline works well. Also elevate the crib mattress with a towel so your DD isn't totally flat while sleeping. A little time reading books in the steamy bathroom can give some relief too.

    steamy shower, humidifier, prop up with pillow to sleep (if old enough), saline spray, and tissues with lotion

    Boogie wipes...I've found them at Walmart. They're saline wipes that help with a stuffy nose. DS would never let me use a nose spray on him, so these are great for him.

    Zarbees is awesome.  It is basically honey with a lot of vitamins.  Allowed after age 1.
