Gamom3 Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I am babysitting my 7wk old nephew. He is congested. He coughs, sneezes, and sometimes gags. I went to the store and purchased Little Noses by Little Remedies. It has phenylephrine hydrochloride in it. Can I give this to him? I have him for the next couple of days, and I don't have his insurance card to take him to the Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 My 3 week old has a cold and I just gave her Little Noses this morning. Ours only has two ingredients.....water and sodium chloride. I'm not sure what your ingredients are. After you give the Little Noses (if you do) make sure you suction him out. If not, the Little Noses only makes the congestion worse. My DD is extra snotty afterwards until I use the suction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleIzumi Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Yup. Also run very hot showers & bring him in the room to inhale the steam, use a humidifier if you have one, Baby Vicks/mint essential oils on the baby (diluted) and with the humidifier are great, too. Breastmilk up the nose is great too, if you're BFing. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
