I give Tylenol only if LO seems fevered or in any discomfort. Right now we are battling a cold and I give her saline drops and put a boiling pot of water with vicks in it in her room. Hope your LO feels better soon!

Saline, if the stuff in her nose dries out overnight.

G caught her first cold this weekend as well. We used saline, sucked out her snot as much as we could, ran a cool mist humidifier, and a couple times a day sat in the bathroom with her while the shower ran and steamed up the room. We also elevated one end of her crib just a teensy bit (used some thin coffee table books to prop it up about an inch) because laying flat made it worse. No Tylenol, because she wasn't running a fever.

We're on day three of it and it seems to be much better every day, though it sucks to hear her so stuffed up. I sent her back to daycare today and haven't been called yet, so that's good!

I'm in the minority, but I do give him Tylenol when I can tell he doesn't feel well. I consider it a pain reliever and fever reducer, and give it because I don't make it through a cold without taking something myself.

Just keep doing what you are doing mama! Best wishes to K
