3 Week old congested with cold Posted: 12-28-07 17:54pm
Dante will be 3 weeks old on Monday and he
has already caught a cold. He's
had it for about 3 days now. He has a
runny nose with a cough and sounds pretty
congested. His temp is 98.4, so he's not
running a fever. Is there anything I can
give him to help clear the cold up, or
will it just pass on its own? Thanks.

You should pump his nose with the nose
pumper thing. See if it's okay to use a
humidifier and maybe a little bit of vicks
vapor rub on his chest or some vapor bath
in his water. Check with your dr. first.
I don't bring Ava to the dr. anymore for a
cold. All I do is the vicks, vapor bath,
humidifier and pump her nose before eating
and before naps and bedtime. She hates it
but it's the number 1 thing that makes her
feel better.

don't put the vapor rub on him, put it on
your chest and lay him on you. you could
also try running a hot shower and sitting
in the steamy bathroom with him. keep an
eye on him! this could easily turn into
rsv.

When can you start putting it on them?
