I'm not sure if Dimetapp is OK for such a young bub we give it to our little man (19 months old) at night to help him breathe when he gets a cold (he's just getting over one), you could check with your Pharmacist. Also we rub some Vicks on his chest. He had a nasty cold when we were in the UK at Christmas, he was 9 months old, and instead of putting the Vicks on his skin we put some on a hanky and put the hanky between his singlet and his jumpsuit. It helps to clear the stuffy nose and lets them sleep better. Maybe try giving some Panadol to help with the aches and pains.

It's awful I know when your bub gets sick and like your's our little guy always gets a cough when he picks up a cold.
