Help! Posted: 02-04-07 10:12am
Okay, chu's got a cold. I called the doc
and was told that there is nothing that I
can do. If he seems achy i'm supposed to
give him baby tylenol. They also told me
a cool air humidifier will help. I knew
that cool air humidifiers helped with
stuffy noses but I wasn't
aware that it did anything for runny
noses other than make them run more.
Plus he has a little cough. Tomorrow it
will be a full week that he hasn't felt
well. Any ideas on anything I can do to
make chu more comfortable until he feels
better. I don't know if the things that
I do for my own cold are safe for chu.
Also any ideas to help a runny nose? I
don't do anything for my own runny nose
except blow it so i'm using the aspirator
double time on chu... Help, please!!!

I'm in the same position as you .Kay.
Adriana's had a cold for about 4 days and
it doesn't seem to get better. I give her
robitussin and alternate that with
dimetapp throughout the day. She's still
happy, she just looks terrible. Yesterday
I only gave her 1 dose of the dimetapp
because i've come to the conclusion that
it wasn't doing a thing for her. She goes
from having a stuffy nose, to a runny nose
so I don't know what a cool air vaporizor
would do for her. If I come across
anything i'll let you know.
Oh, and also there are these soothers that
you can put in their bath...That's the
only thing I haven't tried, only because
it's way too cold to take .Adriana
outside. Good luck and I hope .Chu feels
better soon.
Makes 3 dealing with the same thing, I
took jordynne to the dr friday. He gave
me more saline nose drops and said to take
her out in the fresh air, she has no fever
or anything but I know she has to be
miserable her cough sounds like crap I
feel bad. She was screaming till 3am last
night slept most of today so now its near
11pm and im tired and shes up and crying .
But eh maybe I can watch the superbowl
its on really late here cuz the time
difference.
I hate when babies are sol ittle u cant
give them any meds.
