Covid & Flu

My Almost 4 month old tested positive for Covid AND the flu. I cried so hard. I feel so bad for him. He has this ugly cough. They prescribed him 2 medicines but said all we can do is let it run its course. What can I do to help him through this?

Vicks (a small amount of children’s Vicks) on the bottoms of his feet and the residue from rubbing the little on his feet’s on his chest. My boy had congestion in his nose and mouth around 2 months and the Vicks and bulbing out everything I could cleared him up in a couple days. I also had him propped up as much as I possibly could those two days because every time he laid flat it was like all the congestion just ran back in. I did saline drops twice the first day then no more as well. Other than that just monitoring for fever and treating with Tylenol, those should help him sleep and breathe.

thank you! I purchased the baby Frida and some baby Vicks this morning. He is still smiling and being a happy baby I can just hear it in his little voice that he’s in pain. But he seems to be comfortable thanks to your recommendations! ❤️❤️❤️🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Cuddles ❤️ few things help your little one as much as simply cuddling. Remember sickness is normal, and babies are a lot stronger than we give them credit for. It sucks to watch and feel helpless, I know! They just need us to comfort them because they don't understand what's going on, but they understand being held by you ❤️
