Just get the vaporizer and close the doors to the room and closet. They breathe all that vicks. Or I would get a rag damp with vicks and put it next to them. Not too close to them just to where they can breathe it. Mine were over it by the next day or a day later. Good luck. Hope they feel better.

My daughter has a cold right now along with the whole family. You can still give your baby, baby motrin or tylenol to help with the symptoms. I would bring my daughter into the shower with me so that she could breath in the steam. Lots of juice too will help. Good luck there is not much to do for them and that sucks!

just use a cool mist humidifier close to where he sleeps and try nose drops (from the baby section of store) and use those and suck the boogies (lol) out. or try running a super hot, steamy shower and sitting in the bathroom with him to clear out his sinuses. just make sure you strip him down to a diaper so he doesnt overheat. my 2month old son is just getting over a cold. it sucks not being able to do a whole lot for him.
