Elijah | 9 and a 1/2 months old

Your son has been showing symptoms of a cold for a few days, but today was the worst. He repeatedly cries and always sniffles. Snot constantly runs from his nose and his eyes are puffy. Being sick isn’t fun, especially for a baby.

You finally test him for a fever and as you thought, he has one. Luckily it wasn’t too high. It was only a fever of 99 degrees. “Mama..” Elijah babbles with a pout while lying in his crib, about to cry again.
