Congestion

LO has been coughing and congested for the last two days. He has been eating like a champ, no fever and having normal diapers. We have tried saline drops, a steamy bathroom and we are using the vicks vaporizer minus the vicks. Any other tips or should I call the pedi? I was holding off because hes still pleasant and eating well.

Same thing with my LO. Poor thing was so congested. I did take him to his pedi but they pretty told me to do the same things you have listed. He's starting to feel better. I'm sure it just the weather.

A cold air humidifier on top of all else you listed. I would still call pedi though cause of the cough. I would be afraid of respiratory infections or with the flu epidemic being so out of control.

All of what you are doing and what pp's have suggested. Also, sitting up in a car seat while sleeping for a night or two, or propping up one end of the mattress with a rolled towel under to help elevate LO's head usually helps a lot. Make sure LO is getting a ton of fluid. Use the aspirator when needed, but not too frequently as sometimes it irritates the nose and makes it more swollen/congested. Another thing that has worked for my kids (all good eaters, so use judgement here) is thinning out their bottles with extra water for a day or two. HTH, and hope LO feels better soon!
