What medicine would you give to a 6 month old that started off sneezing and now has a runny nose / stuffy nose?
Yesterday my daughter started sneezing all day long. Last night her nose was stuffy. Today its running and she still sneezes some. She doesn't have fever. I am thinking it may be allergies. When a baby teethes do they sneeze and etc? I may call her doctor tomorrow. She just gets so uncomfortable when she sleeps, she woke up all night long. Does anyone have any suggestions on medicine or if they think its allergies? Thanks for all the help!- Use a suction bulb frequently to relieve her and a humidifer or a steamy bathroom to help with congestion. If your baby is having significant problems breathing take her in. When a baby teethes they get cranky, drooley, and sometimes run a mild temp
- I would not give her any type of medicine. It could be allergies or a simple cold. Just let it ride out, as long as she is acting normal, no temperature, normal wet / dirty diapers, eating normally, then she will be fine. There really is not much you can do. If it gets any worse, then I would call. But they will just tell you unless she gets a temp that will not go down or if she starts acting lethargic, then just let it p
- go to the doc and see what he says there are infant medicines for allergies but the doc will know best on this one
- There is not much to do for a baby. Just saline drops, suction and a cool mist humidifier is what iam told to do. Good luck
- The only thing you can give a baby at that age is tylenol, baby motrin, etc or whatever else the doctor prescribes. Do NOT give her allergy or cold medicine!
- My daughter was the same way a couple months ago and the dr. told me to get a cool mist humidifier silent humidifier. other wise you will be up all night because of the noise and to get saline drop and put a drop or two in her nose and use that er thing to get the snot out. It might take a couple days. but the humidifier really helps at night
- ask a pediatrician
- My daughter is 5 months and just had the same thing with a cough. I was told there is no medicine you can give him so I just used Vick's Baby Vapor Rub for her chest at night to help her sleep. Also Johnson and Johnson vapor bath. I noticed a big difference when I used those two products! She's also had a cool - mist humidifier in her room
- just bc shes sneezing doesn't mean allergies. babies clear their noses by sneezing. shes probably just really congested. suction it out. call the pediatrician and get some baby sudafed if you think she needs meds. my baby was super congested and we had to suction him out every hour. he hated it, but it helped. maybe use a humidifer to help break up the blockage
- A few months ago, mayne a year, the FDA pulled all of the childrens cold meds off of the shelf because the minimal benefits they afforded children under two did not outwigh the risks the medications posed. So, if it's a cold or allergies, there's nothing FDA approved over the counter except to use saline drops to ease the congestion a little and keep the nasal p ages moist. But, speak to the doctor. This does not mean that, if it's allergies, he can not prescribe something, or tell you specifically how much of a particular medication meant for older children you can give the baby. Bottom line: calling the doctor is the best thing to do when the youngsters are sick, do not try to medicate them yourself
- I have the same problem with my 7 month old as well. He started out with sneezing, then the runny nose, then the constant congestion and coughing. Its going on two weeks now and still not gone. There's no medicine you can actually give. This is what I do: 1. Saline on a q - tip just inside the nose 2. Johnson and Johnson Vapor Baby wash 3. Elevate the crib mattress so that they sleep on an incline 4. Use a nasal aspirator 5. Bring him in the bathroom when you take a hot steamy shower 6. Use a vaporizer 7. Baby Vapor Rub on the chest and around the nose
