Cold remedies for a 10 mo old? I use vapor rub and a steamer/vaporizer but he seems miserable?

Also been struggling.. Some colds & flu syrup suitable for 6 mths & older (Flusin). Could also try tissue salts for colds & flu - dissolve is some boiled water. Possibly a immune booster?

Also, it's expensive, but theres a new product called a Nap Nanny, it's made to keep little ones at an angle when they sleep so it helps them breathe easier when they have a cold, reflux, etc...

My doctor always said there isnt anything you can do for a baby that small. my son is 11 months and he got colds really easily. We just used saline in his nose all throughout the day and then suctioned it out. We used a cool mist humidifier when he was sleeping, and we put vicks on his feet with socks on and put it on the chest of his onsie (an old one bc it will stain) and put a tshirt over that. Other than that dr said it just has to run its course
