Well, we have the snuffly nose and post nasal drip cough. Otherwise he's fine - appetite's good, etc. We have saline spray and a humidifier for night time. Anything else that might help him feel better, and/or not get too much worse? Thanks!

What can I do next?

Honey and lemon is soothing if his throat gets scratchy or he develops a cough.

I recently started using Hyland's Cough and Cold (it's for children 2 and up). It's all homeopathic... got it in CVS or Walgreens. My son is 3 1/2 and I was at a loss because all cold medicines are for 4 or 6 and up. This acyually works really well. Works better at coughs more than noses but I definitely see a difference when I give it to him.
