His 1st COLD
Frankie woke us up at 3am gagging and coughing. I was so scared He had so much mucas in the back of his throat, I had to suction him a few times. Since then, he has had the sniffles with coughing and sneezing. I am going to take him to the doc in the morning, but I feel so bad for him. He just seems all day to being having a hard time clearing his throat from the mucas. I have him sleeping in the carage, so his head is elevated and I sent DH out this morning to buy a humidifier for the room. I gave him some Tylenol as well for a low grade fever he was running.  I feel just terrible though and to think this will probably be the 1st of many. It is just sad when kids are sick and so helpless. And in his case, he can do anything buy cry to let ya know he isn't feeling well. 
Say a prayer for him that he gets well soon. His Christening is on Sat. Feb 25th, so I hope he gets better by then.

Poor baby (you) and poor Frankie! If he has trouble sleeping tonight because of the mucus, you can try putting him asleep in his car seat or bouncy seat.
Hope he feels better soon!

Awww... hope he feels better! What really helps with the mucous is to turn the shower on really hot and sit in the bathroom with him for 15 minutes... also, recline the crib and use a steam vaporizer...

Re: His 1st COLD
Thanks for all the support girls!
I got him into the doctor the next morning and it turn out he also has a left ear infection. The doctor said that is common when they have a cold, because the mucas gets into the ear canal causing an infection. So now he is on Amoxicillin 3 times a day, along with Tylenol cold & cough for infants 2 times a day. He is doing better and the vaporizor really helps.
Thanks again for all the advice.
