cold medicine for a baby

my son is 6 months and has a stuffy nose is there anything i can give him over the counter?

no simply put saline and a nose sucker no cold medicine till 4 years

Nope.

Steam up your bathroom and sit in there for 10 minutes
suction out his nose
use saline spray

i give my daughter cold and cough med. and shes only 8 months old and just hit 15 pounds i talked to her doctor she said she couldnt sotp me [true] so if im going to do it only give her 1/4 teaspoon - 1/2 and i have been and shes fine i was scared it would slow her down and make her sleepy but thankfully it didnt!!..

Like they said saline spray, booger sucker and IMO the best the steamy shower. They use to have cold medicine for young children but it caused more problems than it helped.

in the long haul its bad for her though the fda says its bad for under 4 yr=ears old...they even pulled it off shelves for children here because even a little can actually kill

And 8 months = 2 years now? Just take care of her instead of drugging her.
