How can I help DS (11mo) cold symptoms?

[BrownSuga]

DS and I are both sick with the same thing. It's now moved into my throat, very sore, a bit croaky and going phlegmy. How can I help alleviate DS' symptoms, presuming his will follow the same as mine? I have given him a bit of calpol in case of fever, aches, is there anything else I can give him for the throat issues? (he seemed to like my lemon/honey/whiskey drink, then remembered about the honey issue , not to mention the whiskey)

you can buy sore throat linctus but how much it really works i dont know just see how he is it may just be a cold in him

so sitting in steamed bathroom elevate head to help with breathing little bit of vicks rubbed on chest and back

ive got really sore throat but my ds seems to have slight cough but is drinking and eating ok so cannot be bothering him too much

although last night we both had sickness thing which hasnt been to nice luckily today nothing just very tired

medised is great if they are bunged up as helps aid restful sleep and helps with breathing and sometimes find baby neurofen works better than calpol

thanks for that BG, will keep an eye on him, he seems to be better than me, but is off his food.

Agree with the baby Nurofen - it will help relieve the inflammation in his throat. Don't forget some for you too!
