My 8th month old has had an on and off low grade fever, the heights being of 100.4, has a bit of a cough,

Is congested and she’s also teething. We have alternated Tylenol, children’s Motrin, I also have the humidifier going. Is there anything else I could do to make her feel better?

Lukewarm bath, even room temp bottle, if teething dip a wash cloth with ice cube in it in water (just the one part not whole thing) the freeze and the give as teether!

Are you using orajel? Teething rings, ice cold food. Talk to pediatrician to rule out anything besides teething. My 8 1/2 month old had her first tooth break through this past week or so and it’s been rough. Good luck

My first too. It comes in waves. Lots of cuddles and Tylenol and orajel when necessary

My son how is also 8.5 months has had two teeth for a while. But this last week or so he popped two more and is currently trying to break through 4 more. Teething is rough. It’ll seem like they are sick. I give Tylenol when babes unbearable. I use orajel. And he just chews on everything. His poop hasn’t been a blow out but the smell has completely changed. Also take a baby rag and freeze it. It’s softer and will be more gentle on the gums.

Yes we have orajel. I will call her doctor on Monday. How did it go for you? It’s my firs baby so I’m not sure what to expect.

Nasal flush is what doctor usually recommend for congestion. Why are you alternating motrin and Tylenol ?

Maybe try Vicks on feet. Did that with my lil one. He was sick a few weeks ago with a runny nose and beginnings of croup. He was also teething. His doctor said Tylenol, vicks and humidifier. 😊 And lots of mommy snuggles at night. Letting him sleep on my chest upright helped with congestion. 🥰

Thanks! I totally forgot about vicks! I will be rubbing it on her feet and chest.
