runny nose

My 7 month old has a really bad runny nose. You can hear all of the congestion in his little nose when he takes a swap breath. He has no fever, no cough, playing normally, only other thing is he isn't sleeping well. I've been using an aspirator to suck out the congestion...but is there any thing else I can do to help? Also, his two top teeth are on the verge of breaking through....could this be the cause of the runny nose?

    The runny nose is probably from the teeth since he doesn't have any other cold symptoms. At 7 months the nose sucker is your only option. It should clear up once those teeth pop thru!

    I also use a cool mist humidifier that seems to help my babygirl

    @blessedtimes2 I have a cool mist humidifier running at all times. I know when I was little my mom put some sort of vix type liquid in my humidifier, I wonder if it would be safe to do for him and if they make special baby stuff.

    Hes got vicks on his back and chest now and we've been giving him tylenol. He's got a little fever but nothing high. He just seems so miserable. I feel so helpless. I hope its just the teeth and the come out soon and stop hurting my poor little guy.
