What can I give my almost 2 month old daughter for a cold and stopped up nose.??? I absolutely hate seeing her sick. She’s been to the er once and her doctors twice, all within a weeks time. The er gave her a prescription for Zyrtec which her doctors said she can’t take until she’s 6 months. And her doctors just keep telling me to do saline drops and suction her nose often, but this is not helping her cough. My poor baby don’t sleep well at night because she’s coughing so much.

@tieasha yeah i feel u i took her in to cuz i hated seeing her like that . but its part of having a newborn they get sick fastt
@tieasha poor baby. I hope she feels better soon!
@queenmeeks, I’ve tried the steamy bathroom and I’m doing the saline drops when I feel like she can’t breathe.
During the day she’s more content, smiling, trying to talk, just a busy body. But once night hits it’s like she’s struggling to breathe, coughing so much her face turns red and throws up. I mean it’s obvious that shes not too sick because she hasn’t been running a fever. It’s just a bad cough and stopped up bad.
Saline drops and suction her nose. You can also run a hot shower and close the bathroom door to sit in there with her to let her breathe in the steam.
@dmgraham06, I’ve been putting Vick’s on her feet at night with socks and it works for a little while. I’ll do her chest tonight. And you’re right it’s no fun, she’s not sleeping well and I’m not either.
@_sheriee, I tried the bathroom with the shower running for 10 minutes and I just knew it would help but to me it only made it worse. The same day I done it I ended having to take her to the er. And imma have to get a humidifier today. Her oxygen levels have been between 97-100 and her lungs are clear of any wheezing.
@mommytonayeliz, yeah her doctors told me it has to run its course too but I just hate seeing her like this. 😭😭 the saline drops and suctioning do help with getting a lot of that snot out but she’s still coughing pretty bad.
If you don’t already have one, go get a Vick’s vaporizer. It has been a god send for my kids and myself when I was pregnant and couldn’t take medicine. It takes Vick’s pads that will fill the entire room with the goodness of Vick’s. They also sell baby vapo rub. Put a little on your babies chest and on her feet then put socks on her. Good luck, a sick baby is so not fun.
sadly it's something u have to let run it's course mine has Had 2 colds already and all i did was saline drips 3 times a day and was constantly suctioning her nose..m
Saline and suction using the nose frida is pretty much it since she’s so young. Try putting her crib mattress at an incline at night and you can also sit in the bathroom while letting hot water run, the steam will help. Oh & a humidifier may help as well.
@tieasha, I’m so sorry. Hopefully she’ll be on the mend soon.
