My babes is 7 months and has a cough, and runny nose. No fever. Hasn't been sleeping well for the past 3 nights. Called the on call nurse at pediatrician and she said absolutely no medication and the only thing that I could do is suction his nose with saline and try the steam from a warm shower. She also said he needs to be seen either today or tomorrow. Is that really all I can do for him? And does he really need to be seen??

Have you tried putting some baby vicks on his chest and feet? That worked pretty well for us.

Yes I did. It didn't seem to help much. He wakes up at night just screaming. We are exhausted and don't know what to do 😕 @mckennasmommy,

Id go to the dr if he doesn't start to get better but they will prob say the same thing in person too.. What about baby Vicks? That should help with the cough a bit cause he will be able to breathe easier

My boy had that in December. Propping his mattress up on one end helped, Saline drops up his nose, we used Maty's too which is like vicks but smells better, and a humidifier.
His turned out to be bronchiolitis but not a bad case. We brought him to the doctors when he started wheezing. If you baby doesn't get better in say a week or gets worse I'd call the doctor back and bring him in.
Hope he's better soon!!

He was tested negative for both rsv and flu so just a bad cold. Ped said to give Claritin and buy a humidifier 😊 @nomaci,

Yay, that's good! It sucks when they're sick and miserable, but colds are manageable
