Hi all, I know this is probably a total over reaction but I am so sad, my 9 month old DD has a cold. She sounded terrible, wheezy and was coughing all night and couldn't sleep so DH took her to the GP today to be told she has a cold, there is something on her lungs but she is breathing okay and eating/drinking so go away and it will get better on it's own. Boo hoo!!

So we are giving panadol and nurofen like the Dr suggested and using baby balm vicks on her chest and feet. We are also user the humidifier at night with the Nukey Bear stuff.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? The poor thing is happy and playful but then has a coughing fit and turns miserable and sooky. In addition, her nose is like a tap and she's getting a rash from us wiping it. This combined with her bottom teeth coming through and watery eyes from the cold, her whole face is like a constant water pool.

She's also not sleeping well, because she sucks on her fingers to self settle and when she does this, she can't breathe. She is so tired to go back to sleep, she cries harder if we pick her up to cuddle her because she thinks we are getting her up.

If anyone has any suggestions with how to help her cope with her cold, please let me know.

Thanks in advance
