Cold/Covid: A temp of 37 degrees is considered within normal limits and not a fever. The other symptoms your baby has are typical for a cold. Since Covid is a consideration, make sure there is minimal exposure of the baby to others (especially to persons at risk of severe disease) and treat symptoms. Saline nasal drops for congestion and humidification for thinning mucus. No meds as he is too young.

I have a blocked nose and a cough and slightly stiff muscles, I feel well enough to do basic things like watch tv and eat but not much else. However I have now found that I have a small red dot on my arm and am scared of meningitis.
