HJ thanks for the number firstly, secondly there's not much you can do for the poor little thing, maybe rasie the cot a little or some baby fess from the chemist to clear her nose, if she starts to run a fever just take her to the Drs to make sure nothing else is up, big it's hard when your little one is sick.
Julian had his needles on Tuesday and again he had a small reaction, ie fever, but panadol fixed that, has been a bit grumpy as well, oh the joys of immunisations.
Thanks Amanda - we did elevate her bed - didnt help her much - and she is sooooo hating the FESS!
I found some OTRIVIN that i got in bounty bag - has anyone used that!
Hollye - i have been checking her temp cause she feels really hot - but it hasnt gone above 37.3!
Can we use vicks on them now? havent seen the baby one - do u get it from chemist?
she is totally off her formula too - but im trying to give her small amount regularly so she dosent dehydrate! its horrible not being able to help them - breaks my heart!
Hope little Mia is well!
While Otrivin Saline Baby† is used for baby's delicate nose, the Otrivin brand has a range of medicated topical nasal decongestants for adults & children over 2 years of age.
u can get the vicks from some supermarket. Its called Baby Baslam (or something). Its find for bubs over 3 months. But yes, u get it from the chemist too.
HJ - As Amanda had mentioned elevate her bed and of that doesnt work if you have a good rocker maybe let her sleep in that to help relieve her or even the pram with the seat tilted up a little bit, not laying completely down. Also use fess, either the spray or the drops as well as the nasal pump to help clear her nose. Also get some Vicks baby balsam and put it on her chest, back and her feet. I have also been using a spray called Medic (from the makers of lempsip) you spray it in the room, I use it more thru the day in the lounge room and dont spray too much of it as it can be a bit strong. I have been using through the night Sudaclear Vapour plugs which help alot. Vicks used to have one similar but no longer make it apparently. Or something else if you prefer not to use the plug ins get a vaporiser and the oils for it and have that on thru the night. The vaporisers are also very good. If you are really concerned about her take her to the DR and let them check her out. Let us know how she is doing. HUgs... Also should mention some baby panadol which you can use for colds and flu symptoms can help too.
Have only just read that she doesnt like fess if you are using the spray try the drops it does help. Also if she is a bit hot give her a bath and see if that helps also if you steam up the bathroom before you give her a bath can help too to clear her.
