A member asked:

Can i give my 5 month old something for a cold? forehead is clammy

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The AAP states...: The american academy of pediatrics has recently announced that under the age of 6 years old decongestants and cold medications have not been proven effective. Having said that, your pediatrician could more clearly advise you as to exactly what measures should be used if your 5 month old has a cold. Most suggest nasal saline, gentle suction, and cool mist humidifier.
