Question: What medication is there for a 15 month child with a bad cold?
Brief Answer:
Cold
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
There aren't any safe medications for colds for children this age that can be taken by mouth.
You can use Children's Vicks Vaporub on the chest and soles of the feet. Also, you can keep a cool mist vaporizer running in the room. These will usually provide some comfort while we are waiting for the illness to resolve.
