what to do for....runny nose, sneezing, and slight cough (no fever)

What can I do to make DD comfortable?
She's not congested.
I gave her a little benadryl before she went to bed, but she's up there restless and occassionally lets out a cry.

I pray she sleeps through the night, but if she wakes, what can I do?

What's the protocol? Think she needs to go to the ped tomorrow?

hmmmm- maybe just try humidifier?

Whenever DS has a runny nose I still use the humidifier & elevate the head of his mattress. I find it helps him from coughing at night a bit. And saline drops in his nose, he fights it, but it helps, I try to do it before naps/bed. If you have any questions about bringing her in, I would call the ped. My DS has had a few colds now that usually start with just a runny nose, so for me, I only bring him in if he has fever, a bad cough or gets worse instead of better. Hope she feels better and sleeps for you tonight!
