Tips on helping your baby recover from a viral.
1) Administer the fever reducer/pain killer every 6 hours at your doctor's advice.My ped recommended 1.875 ml Advil every 6 hours.She said pediacare/ baby tylenol was too mild and wouldn't help bring the fever down.
2) Make sure your baby's hydrated.
3) Make sure the baby's feeding well.He might refuse solids because his throat hurts.But make sure he breast feeds or takes the bottle often.
4) To ease his sore throat, you can use a humidifier in the room.You can also give him warm soup or cold apple juice.
5) Last but not the least, hold your baby and shower him with hugs and cuddles.You can read to him or talk to him to keep him distracted.
Hope this helps.The sleepless nights will be a thing of past very soon and your baby will be back to bouncing and playing away happily.
