Ok my daughter is sick. She is sneezing and coughing. I already sucked alot of the mucus from her nose, am using a humidifier, and gave her a bath with the vapor bath. Is there anything else I can do to comfort her? She hasnt had a fever, but could I give her tylenol to calm her some? Please help I feel terrible for her.

Most places have a nurse on call. Sometimes your health insurance company has a nurse or DR. on call, check the back of your insurance card to see if they have a 24 hour care line.

She could develop Pneumonia or Bronchitits or even RSV at that age, it might be a good idea to get her checked out. As for what you can give her, sounds like you are doing all the right things at the moment. I know it hurts to watch her suffer. All you can do is just basically be there and comfort her as much as you can though. Sometimes a little warm salt water will help loosen the secretions in her nose too. How is her appetite?
