I have a 9 month old son who could be getting a cold. i just recovered from one. should i give him any medication and if so what should i give him?

Nothing special: If he is getting a cold, it will happen, whether you do anything or not.Kids in that age group average 5-7 respiratory infections per year.There are many over the counter preparations offered to treat these, but they are generally a waste of time and money.Keep him comfortable, fed and rested and it will pass.
