very sick 10mo

[justice'smom]

My 10 mo is very sick with fever, coughing, and runny nose. It really just started yesterday so I'm not too concerned yet. The fever is probably 102 or 103. I haven't taken his temp, but can kind of tell by feeling him. My question is, is there anything natural I can do to help those things and what can I do to strengthen his immune system? I am still nursing him and I am taking vitamin c, vitamin d, and garlic. Thanks for all replies

Keep an ear out for the cough. My kids go from 0-severe wheezing in no time. He may just have a virus. My 15 month old is getting over one now, that I had to treat with TLC and a nebby (albuterol) I know you said natural, but I don't mess around when it comes to the breathing issues. Hes on a treatment every 4 hours, has been since tuesday afternoon, and by wednesday morning he sounded 85% better. He is now about 95% better. Nose still runny, but fever went away all on its own in about 6 hours. Good luck!

Thanks for your reply. I went ahead and took him to the dr. They said he is fine and it's probably a virus. I ended up getting him some sambucus (sp) stuff at whole foods. I am going to start another thread too because i would love to know of a book that deals in child herbs. Thanks again. I'm still up for suggestions on immune boosting stuff for little ones.
