This just came on last night....except for a runny nose he's had for a couple of days. His cough seems to be pretty uncomfortable, as he's crying more (high pitched) than usual. Any hints on how to help alleviate this while his little systems "toughs it out"?

make sure that he is drinking alot of liquids. I have a cold/flu vaporizer from walmart or target that helps mine and myself when signs of a cold. You can give him a nice warm bath which will break up the dry mucus thats causing him to cough. I have twins that are now 15 months and thats what I did, they did have it for a while but it does go away.because he is so young I would not give him to many things over the counter but there is cold/cough infant Tylenol that you can use which should help. That what I used my sons just got over the cold 2 weeks ago. Hope this helps and hope your son feels better

Take him to the Dr. Even though he doesn't have a fever you should still get him checked. Your Dr will be able to tell you what the problem is and what is best for you to give him. Untill then give him infants pedia care cough medicine and keep an eye on his temp. Good luck

Give him some medicine like "Mexaline" (I'm not sure about the spelling) half a spoon a day. Make sure that you feed him/ her 3 times a day. or go to the hospital or doctor.
Hope this helped.

Use a humidifier and give juice, water or pedialyte....it helps thin out the mucus. My son is just getting over that nasty bug!!
