FTM, Sick baby. What can I do? Crossposted

Question

My 5mo is starting to get an upper respiratory something. Just the beginning very mild clear snot, few sneezes, mild cough a few times…. If it were me I’d boost Vit C etc. to kick it in the butt before it turns nasty. 
Is there anything I can do for a baby or just wait it out?
Obviously I’ll also call the Dr. but it’s Saturday and they’re closed until Monday. Not clinic or ER worthy. 
TIA

Answer

My LO is just getting over her first cold. It was HELL, since she gave it to me too. However, we used a steam humidifier, nose suction, and it passed within the week! Stay strong!

Answer

There is not much you can do. Just make sure you clean your LO’s nose and thats it. Even with fever there is just not much you can do, just wait it out ;)

Answer

We are dealing with the same. Haven’t found much to work but it’s only bad when he lays down to sleep because he starts coughing.

Answer

My LO got his older brothers cold at 3 weeks. It was awful 😭. You really can’t give them anything but I used a humidifier and saline spray and since he was having a lot of phlegm he slept on my chest for a few days. It was rough!  Good luck mama hope your LO feels better soon!

Answer

My babe just got over the same thing. I sat under a cool mist humidifier with him a lot, suctioned nose, and did a couple of albuterol nebulizer treatments. Took him about 2 weeks to fully get over it but he didn’t have a fever.
