3 month old with a cold.?

Question:

I have a 3 month old little girl who seems to have a cold... (runny nose and cough) are there any recomendations on what i can give her over the counter since her doctor is closed for the holiday. i am hoping to find something that will make her feel better or at least tide her over till tommorow when we can see the pediatrician since its not an emergency i would hate to sit for hours in the ER for something needless.

Answers:
Go to your pharmacy,junior Calpol, is good for three months and up, but read carefully the dosage.

raise the head end of the crib mattress w/ a phone book underneath.. go to the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist (they can be very helpful). i would get the infant tylenol or infant motrin and follow the advice on the bottle or that of the pharmacist.
Also get some johnson and johnson vapor rub and use that.
Do you have a vaporizor for the room? kmart will have a fairly inexpensive one .
sleep when she sleeps and good luck!

i would stay with infant tylenole. you give .4 the first line. they can get this starting at 2 months of age.
