See the pediatrician: It is always safest to use medications such as nasal saline for a cough/cold, but to make sure that the illness is not serious please see your pediatrician.

Cough: Use steam from hot shower before bedtime.Use a bulb syringe to suck out mucus use salt water nose drops to rinse out nostrils. Use vaporizer while child sleeps and make sure that he is sleeping on an elevated mattress. Push fluids and that old favorite, chicken soup!
