My DD is 9 weeks and she has a little bit of a cold. Her nose is very stuffy and she coughs and sneezes a bit as well as her eyes are a little watery. She had her 2month checkup today and the dr. listened to her chest and lungs and so far they sound clear. However, he told me to watch for symptoms such as fever (which she does not and did not have) as well as difficulty breathing or anything else getting worse.
I guess I want some reassurance that other kids had colds at this age and everything went away without problems, because now I am paranoid and will keep checking her temperature constantly.
Also, is there anything that I can do to make it better and go away faster? I turned on the humidifier in her room and will start giving her saline solution for her stuffiness? She is on breast milk, so is there anything that I can eat to strengthen her immune system?
This is my second child (I have a 2yr DD) and she was never sick this early on so I feel lost and nervous now due to her being so little.
THanks for the input.
