Any tips to help my 12 month old with a cold recover a little faster and be a little more comfortable in the process? i hate seeing her so sick!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fluids, fluids: Give her more clear fluids- water, soup, pedialyte- to break up the mucous. Run a cool mist humidifier. Take her in the bathroom and run the shower to break up the cough. Use saline nose drops and a bulb to suction her nose to make it easier to breathe. Call your doctor if she has a fever >101 for >2 days, or vomiting, or not getting better in 7-10 days.
