    Their first illness is awful Hope you got the vapouriser, they're great. Childrens Panadol or Nurofen really helps too, often their ears are affected. Poor little chicken, hope she's better soon

    My DD was about the same age when she got her cold too It's horrible, I really feel for you. We elevated the bed to help with her nose not getting too blocked etc and drainage. We also used the humidifier but just a warning, we used it every night and despite airing out the room all day every day we ended up getting mould on the ceiling. Annoying!!

    I also wiped down the cot in the parts where she couldn't reach with the same stuff I put in the humidifier to help clear her nose and also made sure to keep up the fluids, it seemed to help.

    Hope she gets better soon.
