So this cold...

is going round and round my house....

When one starts to feel better- the other gives it right back to them...and because its just "a cold" none of us are on real meds...

DH and I are taking the OTC stuff to clear us out... but RJ hasnt taken anything.... I hear his congestion, and aspirate like crazy- but nothing comes out- It must be way in there- I use little noses, and he sleeps with the humidifier....

I brought him to the ped twice- both times, they said there is no infection, so I have to let it work its way out...

Could I give him the OTC little noses decongestant medicine...??

Its for babies???? My ped. didnt recommend anything... but he isnt big into medicine to begin with.... what do you think?

If he is sleeping ok, I don't see any reason to give him medicine.

No- not at all! And he's a great sleeper usually!

I think he's having issues breathing through his nose!

When Julia had a cold I just gave her Tylenol cold and cough and it helped her a lot. Maybe you can try that and see how it goes. Hope he feels better soon!

When my son was stuffy at night from a cold the pediatrician recommended a little saline for his nose (not too often) and using PediaCare decongestant Infant drops. The PediaCare seemed to help a little.

They say the OTC meds for infants doesn't really do much. I've found that to be true even with my DD.

I do have to recommend the new Sudacare plug in unit. I used it way back when Gianni had a really bad cold and it worked wonders for us.

Marissa - how are you aspirating? You are holding one nostril shut right?

Yea.... but I think my aspirator might be too small for his nose- Is that possible???
