I just took my son to the ER because both him and i are sick. he has been coughing the last couple of days and last night it was bad. i was wondering how everyone else delt with the first colds and infections.

My 3 month old has had the stuffy nose, etc. which you can't really do much about - the dr suggested using Fess nasal spray (in Australia) which is just a saline solution.

But the poor little thing also had gunk/waxy stuff coming out of her ear and two different dr's told us it was just soft wax, but after a week we took her to another dr who said 'ear infection' which finally cleared up with medication. Just as the ear infection cleared we noticed a gooey patch behind the same ear - again three dr's and one week later we were able to apply some cream that started clearing it up. Dr suggested it was dermatitis that had gotten infected.

We've been infection (and medication) free for about three weeks now - touch wood - and hopefully it will stay that way. :o)

Yes I have. I went to the dr tuesday and took Kylar to the dr too.

Well I took her for a runny/stopped up nose and come to find out she had an ear infection and it was bad enough that it had pus behind the ear canal and I had no idea because she had not ran fever or anything...
