I have been fighting a head cold for a couple of days and I think my son may be getting it. When he cries he sounds like his throat hurts.

keeping him well hydrated is the best defense and ask you doctor about dosage for tylonel.

Don't give him Popsicles! Put a bottle of Pedialyte in the fridge and let it get cold and give it to him in a bottle. My son's doctor told me to give this to him when he got the flu at 6 months (3 months corrected age because he was 3 months early) The Electrolytes in Pedialyte aid in brain development.

I have a 4 month old that has a cold. I just called my daughter's doctor and they told me to get some Pedia Care Infant Drops for Cough and Cold to give to her.
Also, use a humidifier in baby's room to keep the air from getting too dry.
Keep checking his temperature and if it gets to 102 F (rectal), then he needs to see a doctor ASAP.

Nurse him often. You know how when you haven't had a drink in awhile then your throat hurts more? Just try to make sure he is nursing as often as possible to keep his throat moist. A humidifier might help, too.

just take him to the pediatrician and let him give you better advise on what to do, but what i would do for now is give baby warm milk warm as the baby would take to it.
