Your little guy might already be on the mend, but I though I would comment just in case he was still the same.  The only other suggestion that I would make, which you may already be doing, is to make certain that his upper body is a little elevated - if his bed or crib has the ability to tilt one end, or put extra blanket behind his upper torso.  This usually helps with allowing a better sleep.  Also, I have three children, who are now much older than yours and I also ran a daycare for several years.  I found that with my first daughter, in her first year of life, she always has a what we thought was a cold or flu and she was constantly being put on meds; she would show signs of improvement and within a few days of finishing the meds the symptoms would return.  Now I am not aware of your history or your husbands, but it turned out that my daughter was suffering through allergies - my ex-husband has terrible allergies.  I was very greatful when we discovered this as it changed entirely the direction of treating her symptoms.  When the other two followed, it turned out they went through the same.  Anyway, just something to consider...

Sounds like something is going around.. Every one seems to be feeling a little ill... I hope he feels better tomorrow...

Poor Matthew. I hope he feels better soon. Let's hope he sleeps for you tonight.

I hope Matthew starts to get better quickly. My boy was unwell yesterday and today my girl has a cough - it sounds awful. doesn't it - especially the first time.

I hope the little guy feels better soon!  It is horrible when they get sick isn't it?  The only plus when my kids got sick at that age was that they wanted to snuggle.  We would rock for hours.  I know my kids really like taking a bath with a menthol soak.  I found some bath foam, I think it is by Johnson and Johnson, that smells like Vicks Vapor rub so when they soak it clears the sinuses.  I soak in it when I have a cold!  I hope he feels better soon Izzy :)

I hope your little guy feels better in the morning. Sounds like you're doing everything right to get him there!    You spelt phlegm correctly---- good job!
