sick babies

My son has had this Super nasty cold all weekend. fever snot you can tell his little throat hurts the way he tries to swallow and coughing like crazy. his fever finally broke today but he's still coughing so bad he's throwing up but there's not much you can do for a 1 year old. I'm diffusing breath like crazy and running the humidifier and rubbin him with baby vicks and suckin his nose dry propping him up on my arm so he drains better. hes having the worst time trying to sleep through all the coughing.
