I always do steam sits in the bathroom when P starts getting a runny nose. I've been meaning to make some homemade "vicks" pucks but haven't yet so I just put a few (5-10) drops of peppermint oil & eucalyptus oil on the tub floor (or on a wet wash cloth over the spout). I'll also make a vicks rub blend using coconut oil & the oils and if she's really congested I'll put a single drop of either (usually eucalyptus) in the corner of her bed when I lay her down.

For coughs I'll add lavender to the mix (it's a natural expectorant) and have even put it in the scentsy warmer (in some water or carrier oil) for aromatherapy if she's coughing at night.

Hope both you & the lo feel better soon!

DD has had that for 3 weeks now. I've taken her to the doctor twice and he confirmed it's allergies for her (drainage is causing the cough). We're giving her Zicam at night and it has made a big difference. Hope that's what it is for your LO

Dd had the same symptom a couple weeks ago and got her first (mild) cold. Even though it was mild (I got it too and her symptoms seemed mild.) she did not react well.. Ugh. Trouble getting to sleep but she did sleep ok otherwise, THANKFULLY! I hope your ds is better soon!
