Our guy is soon to be 10 months and this is our 3rd sickness (first cold, then RSV, now COVID) and we alternate Tylenol and Motrin if he has a fever every 4 hours. Run the humidifier all night. Baths everyday with a little vicks in the tub. And most importantly, call your pediatrician! Sometimes they can help out in ways you cant - for instance, our guy had a painful throat and croupy cough so our dr gave him a prednisone shot to reduce the swelling so he could finally sleep without waking up whimpering from his coughs!
warm baths, every night. Humidifier on for sure, also nasal saline drops and sucking out boogers if they’re stuffed up. Taking a multi vitamin, staying hydrated and offering water consistently. I also make chicken bone broth for my son so he gets those extra nutrients while fighting off sickness!
He just got over a cold. He was extremely congested. We did Saline washes, used Nose Frida for boogers and Mommy’s Bliss Organic Baby Cough Syrup. Before bed his usual warm bath, then Baby Vapo Rub on his chest and feet. The humidifier on all night while sleeping too.
I hope your little one gets better fast☺️
