I have 2 under 2, a 3 month old and a 20 month old and they're so sick right now! My oldest has been sick for about a week almost and has had a bad cough and runny nose, not much of a temp. And my little one just started with a bad cough, congestion and just had a diarrhea diaper, no temp tho! What can I do to help both of them ? I'm giving cough and cold medicine to my oldest but not sure what to give or do for my youngest since he's so little. Also he can't be sick for long since he has a lip repair surgery in a month and if he's sick a week or two before surgery they have to change the date!! Any recommendations?
Also should I call their ped and see if he can see them or take them to urgent care ( the little one(

I have two under two, oldest 15 months and youngest 10 weeks. A couple weeks ago they were sick too, similar to how you’re describing. There wasn’t much I could do for the little one. I just let him sleep as much as possible. He had a bad cough and a bit of wheezing so I propped his mattress up a bit to help with the breathing. While he slept I also kept the vaporizer on with a bit of Vicks in it. Then just waited until he started to feel better. It’s awful to watch your little ones feel sick, hope they feel better soon
