I've had similar problems with Eamonn, we've all had a cold. The advice I got was saline drops/spray and or breast milk up his nose to clear it.

The pharmacist also told me to try karvol, but to keep it well out of the way of him, so that the smell is there but there's no chance of him coming into contact within the oil. It seems to be helping.

:hug: its awful seeing them struggling with a cold when they're so small
