My lo has a cold with a runny nose n a fever. She looks n feels miserable. The Doc. said she's too young for anything. I've tried using little nose n i suctioned her nose out but that's not helping much. What else can I do?

    Tylenol for the fever and try steaming up the bathroom and letting her sit in the room with you. Hope she feels better!

    Just follow the instructions on the bottle. There are two different types of tylenol's out now with different doses. My tylenol is two dropper fulls. Hope your LO feels better!

    How many lbs is she? My girl is 13 lbs and takes 2.5ml. They have started just making childrens tylenol because its less concentrated to avoid overdoses. I couldn't find any tylenol for her age so I asked her pedi and thats What he told me and gave me a sheet with how much to give them based on weight

    @thetrondsons1st she is 13lb 5 oz n thanks so much....I've been giving her some but it didn't bring the fever down at all n I'm assuming bc I wasnt giving her enough.

    Yeah no problem. Hope she feels better soon. :) my lil girl has been sick since Saturday. And she's finally starting to get over it

    From 11-17 pounds is 2.5ml. We went for Claras 4 month appt this morning so I checked the dosage chart in the office. Hope your princess is feeling better!

    Take some zinc ASAP for yourself!! Take it everyday for like the next 5 days. If you catch it early enough I swear you won't get sick!! I've beaten 3 colds this way :)
