How do you help your toddler if they are really congested from being sick?
I've given my son 2 warm baths today but I'm lost on what else I can do. He acts like I'm killing him if I try to use the Nose Frida.
Saline Spray and use Qtips to get the boogers out. Zarbees makes a Cough + Mucus syrup that has worked well for us. Humidifier while they sleep.
@oceanhalo how long do you wait to give it to them? Like how many days of them being sick. (Zarbees)
Have you tried the Vick’s steamer? I use that one when my kids have a stuffy nose or when they’re congested
Try Maty's All Natural Chest Rub, that's worked really well for us too.
@journeyofbabbles As soon as I see symptoms. Zarbees has zinc, that helps them fight off the cold.
Humidifier, Vick’s , Breathing treatments also help my daughter coughs all the flim an mucus up.
@journeyofbabbles, lmao yes 😂🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I just couldn’t remember what was called 😂
@journeyofbabbles, No I use regular Vick’s. Her doctor said after one years old it’s fine
@oceanhalo I actually believe we have a brand new box! Do you know if I can give it to him with Motrin or should I wait? I just gave my son Motrin.
@journeyofbabbles I'm sorry, Maty's makes a cough syrup with Zinc, I give that to them as soon as I see signs of a cold. Then if the cold sets in I give them Zarbees Cough + Mucus!
@journeyofbabbles I usually wait 1hr between the Tylenol (that's what I give mine, in your case Motrin) and Zarbees as my own precaution, but I don't think you have to wait because the Zarbee's is all natural so it doesn't have any acetaminophen or ibuprofen (Motrin) in it.
My kids doctor recommends benadryl to help with congestion and help them sleep. But only at night!! Humidifier, baby vicks, boogie wipes..and teaching them to blow his nose. Took my daughter a few tried now anytime she sees a tissue she blows her nose.

Humidifier, saline drops, lots of fluid, and plenty of rest!
