What are some things i can do for my little man to make him feel better from a cold?

He isnt running a fever so the doctor doesnt need to see him, remember hes 2 so cold medicines are out of the question. Ive just been givingg him fruit/veggie juice and water since he woke up…hes ate some crackers but not much else. Any ideas on what could help his runny/stuffy nose.

Answer #1

Soup? It always makes me feel better.

Answer #2

Soup would be a good idea…however he will not let us feed him anymore and hasnt quite got down using a spoon well enough to pick up liquid and make it in his mouth.

Answer #3

Oh ouch

Answer #4

That sucks. You can get fruity tea, it always makes me feel a bit better when have a cold , if you can get him to drink that it might help a little bit

Answer #5

I used to love to be able to stay home and cuddle up on my parents big warm bed with crackers and warm water:D

Answer #6

This is going to sounds weird but soup will help him feel better, if he can’t eat with a spoon try putting the liqud part of the soup into a cup and letting him drink it, that’s what my mom used to do for me. Also try putting on a good movie for him to distract him from being sick.

Answer #7

I don’t know if you have it in America, but there is a caffeine free tea called Rooibos tea overhere. It works so well for when you are feeling upset after a cold and even if you have an upset tummy. We were basically raised on the things, it is very safe to use.

Answer #8

Lots of Vitamins. Make him a milk shake, but blend in and egg and some crushed up vitmains. Thats what I use to do when my grandpa was sick.

Answer #9

Put tea tree oil in a vaporizer instead of vicks. I love that stuff. And it’s actually been proven to boost your immune system just by using it for aromatherapy.

Answer #10

My mom just gives me lots of love and she keeps saying how she would trade places with me. That and some ginger ale with crushed ice (cold but I’m throwing up.) and weak tea with honey(cold)
