My 1yr old twins were diagnosed with upper resp virus? is there anything i can give them to stop coughing, brething hard, o sleep?

Nasal saline drops: 2 or 3 times per day utilize some nasal saline drops such as "little noses" and use bulb suction to remove the congestion. The children may fight you when you do it, but it will help with breathing for a few hours and will help them fall asleep.
