Sick toddler, time off, bad sleep, etc

I might consider* breaking "the rules" and doing a decongestant dose based on weight. This is obviously out of date because it still has advice on dosage: www.askdrsears.com/topics/parenting/childhood-illnesses/medicine-cabinet/decongestants

*And by that I mean by this point, desperation would set in and if I could find an appropriate product, I would do it.

We've sat in the bathroom with the water on full hot for steam.

I also have used benedryl (with my Pedi's blessing) to help. I don't remember how old toddler b is but we started using it at around 18 months.

Are you using nasal saline? It should help with the pressure. Is it a sinus infection? Ds had one and they put him on antibotics for it.

They can prescribe narcotics for toddlers. One of my sons had a wicked ear infection and needed narcotics to ease pain so he could rest and get better. I put a call into your ped and explain how bad it is.
