Just work to keep her temp regulated including cool/luke warm bath as necessary. That helped my daughter feel better.
Yes, that’s the standard protocol. I prefer just Motrin though. Baby will want to rest a lot and not eat much but probably be over in a few days.
Regulating her temperature, extra sleep during this time is helpful and making sure she stays hydrated I personally feel is most important! Littles can get dehydrated fast so pushing fluids is always best! All of my nieces and nephew had it and it lasted a full week for them, hoping you guys get through it quickly!
Get a baby pulse oximeter! I like to check my baby’s oxygen saturation when he’s super sick. That you’ll know if you really need to take him in to the er or not.
We got hit with RSV. Just stay hydrated and let her sleep as much as she wants! Just make sure her breathing is ok and hopefully it passes soon for you guys!
