  • take her to the doctor and get her some infant tylonol drops asap and if she shows any sign of fever give her the drops and a luke warm bath. also I know this sounds weird but cut an onion in half place it in a cup and set it near wear she sleeps raw cut onions absorb bad bacteria out of the air and actully clean the air. try it the onion will be a grayish color in the morning from all the bacteria it has gathered and just throw it away and her sinus's should be better the next day.

  • Take her to the doc. If coughing you might want to take her to emergency room just to be safe.

  • I hate when babies get sick. When my babies are sick I make sure that they are inclined a little to sleep and turn on a cool mist humidifier. The dr told me to only suck out their nose if they are having trouble falling back to sleep or eating, because sucking out their nose too much can make it sore. There is a really great device to suck boogers out of baby's nose called a nosefrida (sp?). I have heard from several friends that it works way better than the bulb thingy that they give you at the hospital. I ordered mine yesterday. There really isn't anything that you can give a baby that small so just try to make her as comfortable as possible.

  • I would take her in my son was 2 months old and had the same signs with out a fever and when I took my daughter in for a ear infection, the dr heard him so he checked him out also and he had RSV really bad but was not showing major signs and he had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks
