So I currently have a cold and suffering with a really runny nose and just sneezing all the time. Any advice on what I should do regarding looking at my little man. As I know it can be contagious, and possible furthe complications like RSV. So obviously I want to minimise the chances but I am the main person to look after him.

I have a really bad cold and I'm just trying to get over it asap. I think that's the time when everyone has to ask for some help from friends and family. Drink lots of hot teas and try to sleep as much as possible. Also try to clear out your nose as often as you can and keep on washing your hands. Soon enough the cold will pass but now take it day by day.

If it continues to get worse I’ll have to ask, as I can’t expect my partner to stay off work as that’s the only income. I’m having plenty of lemsip drinks, ibuprofen and just layering up to try sweat it out but that doesn’t seem to be working this time round.

Your partner could probably look after the baby once they're finished with work. Even just an extra hour could be helpful. Also even reaching out to your friends and your parents or your in-laws could be greatly beneficial. When it will get worse then it might be much harder.
