What to do for a runny nose and little cough?
May 30th, 2010 by admin
My son has a runny nose and a little cough. I tuned on the humidifier for his cough and that seems to help. What can I do for his nose? I wipe it and use a aspirator to get the boogers out. Do any of you moms have any other ideas? BTW my son is 9 months.
There isn’t much else you can do…you’re doing all that you can already. I have to say, the humidifier helps my daughter immensely. We run it all the time in the winter, even when she’s not sick. Just a lot of TLC, cuddling, reassurance…babies are truly miserable when they’re sick because they can’t tell you what’s wrong and don’t understand how to deal with it. Don’t worry, they also bounce back quickly too. Good luck.

When it is runny all you can do is wipe it really. The humidifier is good too. If it turns to stuffy then also use saline drops to unstuff then suck it all out!

My 5 month old sons has a bit of a cold right now. The cough isn’t as bothersome to him as his constantly runny nose, I also use the aspirator, also try some saline nose drops you can make them at home boil 1 cup of water with 1/4 teaspoon of salt let cool to room temp then use a dropper and put about 4 drops in each nostril then use the aspirator to suck out the mucus from his sinuses works great and clears their little noses for much longer than just the aspirator alone.

cough came from runny nose. its called poise nasel drip. it literally runs down the back of your throat which makes it soar. be prepared for a stomach ache next! anyway, alll you can do is give him some medicine or wait it out

For a baby I would call the DR he/she can give you s Rx for the symptoms, No over the counter meds are okay at this age.
