Mgt: I would suggest checking his temperature. If the temperature is > 100.4 degrees F, he should have an evaluation including labs. I would suggest keeping him well hydrated with his usual formula, and an appointment with your physician. It may be an uncomplicated viral infection, but his age warrants further follow up. Did you have your influenza vaccination? If not, I would suggest it.

Little noses: Irritants like perfume & dust can make the nose swell inside & the mucous they make may make them cough. If babies activity or feeding is pretty normal, simple nasal wash out with saline can improve things. If babies activity changes & they seem fussy, tired,have fever or not interested in feeding, it's time for a visit.
