Sick 2 month old. help!
posted 26th Jan
My 2 month old is super congested and has been coughing. He has been sleeping all day and night only waking up to feed for a few minutes then he goes back to bed. I am goimg to go this his dr in an hourish. But I was wondering if they wil even do anythingnfor a cold. He keps freaking out and stops breathing because of the snot/mucus....
Thanks in advance

There is nothing a doctor can do for him. Take him into the bathroom and turn the shower on hot and hit in there with him. The steam will do him some good

If he isn't eating, pretty sure they will. Just make sure you suction his nose as much as possible to get the mucus.

Use a humidifyer and some saline like hydrasense. I wouldnt use a snot sucker thingy, they are not recommended to use over here at all.
Just the saline spray, and once you spray it and it runs out of the nose wipe it good and lo should have a clear nose for at least 1.5 hours. Then use the humidifier in whatever room you are in. Hopefully a cool mist one (other create mold in the walls)
Dr wont due anything at that age, maybe fluids through IV if little stops eating altogether and is dehydrated, but you will need to go to a ER for that.

Sounds like RSV to me, he sounds exactly like Noah was..He's recovering from it, it's pretty nasty.
