This is going to sound dumb but I’ll ask anyway: Should I give my 6 month old Motrin for a cough? I have the Vick’s all over him but the coughing sounds pretty bad. It hurts me to hear him like this or is it time to call his pediatrician?

That's nice. Adult Vicks can be bad, but Baby Vicks is usually done, just not on the chest, I think. We did the cool mist humidifiers as well as Vicks and Maty's, and propped his mattress at an angle.
When he had bronchiolitis, his first visit she said it was just a cold since his lungs sounded clear, but by the end of the week he was wheezing and she said his lungs sounded funky. (We were going out of town that first day so wanted to make sure it wasn't anything serious, which is why we took him in for just a cough.)

@nitarose070793, @nomli, @zombiemommie, @amalia., sooo I contacted his doc. She pretty much was no help lol basically said she doesn’t recommend any meds since he’s still very young. She even mentioned that Vick’s sometimes causes the cough to worsen 😳never knew that. She recommended the old fashion hot shower steam for him. She’s more concerned if he gets a fever so I’m supposed to see how he is by Sunday. If not any better than bring him in Monday. 😏
@melinanae oh okay. Well you may have to suction him out. Zarbees has all natural for infants just chexk the age

Motrin doesn’t do anything for coughs, just pain and fevers. At that age doctors usually don’t recommended any cough medicine unless it’s something that needs prescription medication, like an infection. My son had bronchiolitis last winter, and if it had gotten worse she would’ve given him a nebulizer, and when he had croup he got steroids for the swelling.
If it sounds barky, if he’s wheezing any, having difficulty breathing at times, or if you’d just feel better bringing him in, give the doctor a call. They can give you better suggestions too, on how to help him.

Unfortunately Motrin is only for fever and pain, call his pediatrician and ask them if there is anything you can get or he might need to be seen @melinanae
I feel like the Motrin won’t do anything for the cough unless he has a fever with the cough... but I also don’t think a dose would hurt him. Give it a try maybe to ease your mind.
My poor baby has the worst cough. It sounds so painful. He had such a hard time sleeping last night. I feel so bad for him.
Will your Mom be in the delivery room? My mom made it sound like she was gonna be in the delivery room when I give birth, and quite frankly, I would just like it to be me and my fiancé. It's our first, and I want to share that special moment with just him. I don't want to hurt her feelings, and I know this is something she would really like to be a part of. So I feel bad telling her no.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
