Quoting wifeandmomma13:
Yeah I think Johnsons still makes it. Also baby advil and motrin work wonders if she is running a fever and such.
yeah no fever... but shes just SOOOOO stuffy :( thanks for the advise though!

We gave dd tylenol at that age when she was sick. We gave her the smallest dose every four hours. I forgot what the number is, it is the first line. You can also call your local er and ask. Which is what we did the first time because our office was closed. As far as the soap I believe I do remember the vicks one not sure if they still make it but I think I saw an Aveeno baby soap with Eucalyptus which could help. Or what about that johnsons night time one with the lavender chamomile? I hope she feels better soon.

I haven't ever given Tylenol Cold and Flu to a child under 2 years old. Also I wouldn't use vics products on your child either but that is just my opinion.
I would get an appointment with the doctor because of the chest congestion and cough; the child could get pneumonia very easily. That is weird that the doctor doesn't want to see your child, my kids doctor would want to see them ASAP.

i understand the doctors concern there are lots of kids getting hospitalized cause of this whole flu thing.. but she has been sick since Monday. So I will probably call tomorrow and get her in if she is still feeling nasty.. it is just getting WORSE.. but no fever.... so i have no idea.. ijust dont want her to be so sick..
i use the Vics vaporier and her doc said over the phone to put babyvics on her chest under her clothes... so i figured i could use a baby bath... maybe not though... hmm

I wouldn't suggest giving any medicine that has cold written on the bottle because my pediatrician said that is not good to give a baby. The only thing you can give is infant Tylenol and motrin. I suggest getting a cool mist humidifier and keep that in her room when she sleeps at night. Also try taking her in the bathroom with you and turn on the shower and let her breath in the steam. There really isn't much you can do for colds, you just have to let it run it's course. Just make sure to keep the fever down by switching back and forth with the tylenol and motrin. I think they have baby vics but I'm not sure at what age you can use it. That you can rub on their chest and it helps with the congestion.
