This is Peter's first cold and I'm not sure if there is anything else I should be doing. He has a fever (up to 38.8 so far), runny nose, sore throat and dry cough. He has felt rotten all day, poor little mite. We've held him all day and let him nap on us and TRIED to get him to drink (water, juice, sucking on washcloth, ice/grapes in mesh bag) and he just won't drink. He still drank some milk today, so he got something. And he ate some store-bought baby-food jelly.

I resisted giving him panadol all day as I know the fever is "good", but I did give him some tonight before bed.

Anything else I can try to help him feel better??
