what can i give my 3 week old child for a cough and cold also i have come down with one as well i am breestfe

Answer 1

call your baby doctor or if its late the doctor on call. they can tell you how much of infant drops to use. I would only go with the advice of your doctor and not people on here. as they dont knwo your baby history and you could over dose the baby. so be smart and call the doctor and get the right answer. I know I called my kids doctor many times late at night. they dont care. they would rather you call them than to take matters in toyour own hands or get advice in a place like this.

beings you breast feed. you need to be careful as to what medications you use as it will be transfered to your milk and the baby will injest that. I hope you have a list of what yo u can and cant take.

Answer 3

At 3 weeks old, I don't think there is really anything that you can give. Call you pediatrician just to make sure. One thing you can do is to keep his/her nose clear by bulb suction.

Answer 4

I usually let my children ride it out. Especially when they are breastfeeding, I think that the best advice is patience. Of course, watch out for those high temperatures, that can be dangerous.
