A member asked:
How do i manage a cold in a 5 month old? he has a runny nose and cough he eats fine but can't really sleep good at night what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cold: Cool mist vaporizer/humidifier can often help. Saline nose drops followed by bulb suction can serve as a decongestant. Over-the-counter cold/cough remedies are not recommended for this age group. If at any point he develops a fever or his appetite decreases, i recommend consulting with your doctor.
