Hi Sweety

My daughter also suffered from cold couple of months back, her pediatrician had suggested following things

1. Keep room temp warm and humid, use humidifier near baby’s head.
2. You may also try running the hot shower in the bathroom and keeping exhaust off. (Pediatrician had suggested this idea)
3. Keep his head little elevated so that she can breath properly, you may keep pillow or something hard under the crib mattress.
4. Please do not play much with baby and excite her by any way, let baby use that energy for recovering. Allow him to sleep as much as possible.
5. If you bottle feed, do feed him warm BM / formula – good for throat and melt the cough. Of course breastfeeding is the best, but sometimes he may not able to suck milk properly because of chocked nose and cough.
6. Pediatrician had told me that it will take up to 7 days to recover, but Suhani recovered in 3 days. :-)

Hope this helps,

Take care,
Suchie.
