Cough: Steam him in the shower before bedtime. Use vaporizer while sleeping on an elevated mattress.Use bulb syringe to remove mucus from nose and use saline nose drop several times a day. Push fluids, tea with honey is helpful as is chicken soup.

Colds in 19 month ol: For cold symptoms in infants there really are no medicines recommended. You can use saline nose drops and suction the nose to helpkeep the airway clear. If there is fever or other symptoms contact uour pediatrician, particularly if it has affected the sleep and eating habits.

Nasal saline: Nasal saline and gentle suction relieves post nasal drip. A cool air mist humidifier may be used. There are products for infants with honey which may relieve cough due to throat irritation. Provide fluids and monitor for fever.
