What to do for my 9 Month old runny nose?

Question

My 9 month old has a yucky runny nose. She coughs rarely because i assume its the drainage going down her throat. She doesn't have a fever and doesn't need to go to the doctor, but i was wondering if anyone had any ideas to make it better. We have tried "Little Noses", an aspirator (even bought an electric one) and some Vick's baby rub. Any ideas? She not congested or stuffy, her nose just runs poor baby. Thank you

Answer 1

Run a Humidifier in any room that you are in. If it gets to bad you can call your Pediatrician and see if she may have some Childrens Tylenol & Cold Medicine.

Answer 2

Use a bulb syringe to get the mucous out.  As long as the discharge is clear, no need to take her to the doctor, but if it is yellow or green, you should take her to your pediatrician because that is a sign of infection.  Good Luck!

Answer 3

For young infants, use a bulb syringe to clear the secretions. It is especially helpful before a baby nurses or takes a bottle. Use a humidifier at night. Cool mist humidifiers are safer than steam. Elevate the head of the crib or bed. This is best done in cribs or bassinets by placing a pillow underneath the mattress. Never place infants on pillows. Keep the room temperature down below 65° F in the winter. Dress the child warmly.    this is all i could find for you. i haven't experienced this yet, but i'm trying to help.  also, put a little chap-stick or desitin clear under your baby's nose to keep it from getting raw.
