mom's I need help. my baby (6month old) and I are sick with lots of mucus, and cough... my baby's temp has been 99.9 to 100.4 I've given him Tylenol and put baby chest rub so he can breathe a lil better... any other medications or something I can give him or do so he can get better.. what can I take?
Please do not give cough medicines to an infant. They need to cough in order to clear the mucus out of their lungs. Suctioning with normal saline, especially before feeds, and as needed + keeping the temp down with Tylenol is your course of action for baby. Viruses can take 7-10 days for the body to fight off☹️
hylands cold and cough is for infants. works great! there's a daytime and nighttime option.
You can use a bulb syringe to auction mucus out of his mouth if you need to and run a hot shower and stand in the bathroom with the door closed. The steam will help. Also, you can try some Vicks rub inside of a wax warmer.
