i was just going thru med cabinet and found some OTRIVIN thats was in my bounty bag! has anyone used that? is it okay to use along with FESS or should it be one or the other?
Hi mate, I was going to suggest the vaporiser as well, but it sounds like you're onto it already.
You can get Baby Balsam from vicks, which is just a milder version for bubs. I don't know what otrivin is? Is that saline? I get confused with the different concentrations for saline. I know that there's a different one for eyes, but can't remember if you need a different concentration for noses. Might be worth asking the pharmacist about that one.
Interesting about the neurofen comment... I find neurofen heaps easier? Cause you have to give it half as often? What's the story, Belle?
The best thing we did (sleep wise) for DD when she had a bad cold, was to let her sleep in her bouncer or pram (strapped in of course). This let her nose drain and she was comfy.
We let her have heaps of tummy time during the day for drainage of her nose. We also put her in the bathroom when we showered so the steam would unclogg her nose.
I always used dimetap but you now need a prescription if under 2.
Amy - yep Otrivin is a salin nasal drop - might give it ago since i got it! went and had appt with child heath care nurse today and she suggested that vicks may not be so good for B since she has sensitive skin? wonder if anyone else has had that type of prob - i have sensitive skin but im fine with it!!!
MG - yeh i think we will be doing the bouncer thing again tonight! i hope this dosent last for long as than it will be hard to get her to go back in her cot - it was hard to get her in her cot to start off with!!
Thats a good idea about the tummy time - she gets lots of it anyways but im going to give her extra more time now! thanks
and trust me she is getting LOTS of TLC!!! thats what mothers are good for afterall
