A member asked:

What can we give our 2 year old who is suffering from a summer cold so that he can sleep better at night? tylenol (acetaminophen) is ok, anything else for sleeping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Little noses: For that age, the goal is to keep them comfortable especially while asleep. Putting a humidifier in the room will help. If pain is an issue, then tylenol (acetaminophen) will suffice otherwise, avoid unnecessary if not needed. If congested, try nasal saline and then using the bulb suction. Also giving them a warm shower will allow the warm shower mist to open up his nasal passages to some extent. Good health.
