Doctor Visit and HumidifierBest Ideas

April,

It's so difficult to watch our little one's suffer!! Regarding your baby's rash, you'll need to answer some questions to figure out what that is all about.

1. Did you feed her a new food?
2. Did you use a new cream?
3. Is the rash little red bumps in sweaty-areas (back of knees and elbows)?

The first two involve an allergic reaction. If you stop using those products or feeding that food it should clear up. The third is probably eczema. Using Eucerin Aquaphor on the areas will help soothe her skin and clear it up. Naturally, if it hasn't cleared up in a few days you should make an appointment to see your doctor.

As for the cough, I've written an article regarding colds (and coughs). It discusses different ways you can alleviate the cough.

I hope this can be of some help!
