Hi, I need advice. What do you all do when your baby isn’t feeling well? (Like sore throat and cough possible headache) he was uncomfortable most of the night last night and wakes up and cries which is not really like him.

I have a humidifier I run to help with the cough. You can look into adding Vicks to the humidifier too which might help. They also have baby Vicks you can put on their chest or bottom of feet.

I do a steam shower while we sit in the bathroom and depending on the age I give a little bit of raw honey, and for sleeping I prop them up on a pillow. I use my babies boppy pillow with a blanket over the whole thing and sit her up to sleep so the mucus and stuff doesn't get stuck in her nose and throat. It's always helped my girls sleep through sickness but I always stay up and watch them like a hawk cuz I worry lol

Humidifier, fruit popsicles, herbal tea, lots of snuggles.

Get tested for strep. Strep flu and RSV are going around rn. Better to get them checked on first. We just got through 2 weeks of strep and then an ear infection

Totally agree with the humidifier, honey if they are older than one and just keeping them hydrated. My baby had Hand foot mouth and we found out from taking him to the doctor since a fever was involved.

I heard vicks wasn’t good for kids under 2 no?

they have a baby version with natural products

Also my doc said children’s Claritin Zyrtec or Benedryl helps clear up the mucus symptoms

I took my son to get his shots and was told the ear infection cleared in the right ear but now is on the left ear. On top of that he is Teething. And he won't eat like normal. So I guess I'll ride it out and let the medicine do its job
