Well, you could give him tylenol cold or just stick it out. Colds shouldn't last more than 10 days, so if it does I would take him to the doctor.

The doctor probably told you not to give him any water until at least 6 months, because that can cause water intoxication in children under one. Especially in the first 9 months. Too much water dilutes a baby's normal sodium levels and can lead to seizures, coma, brain damage and death.

thank you, your reply was very informative and appreciated. I was wondering if there is anything i can do to help him feel better (that isn't medication), such as a warm bath, or a cool bath, or...anything like that...
thanks
