Sneezing? Coughing? Runny nose?: Dealing with the common cold Daily Gleaner

"They helped a thimbleful bit but I just had to suffer it out."

So far her baby and her husband, Brian Trafton, have avoided catching a cold or flu virus this winter.

Brian Trafton wants to steer clear of getting a cold or the flu because when a virus hits him, he says, it packs a wallop.

"I'm miserable. I'm a baby when I get unbalanced. I get everything - runny nose, runny eyes, no energy."

Jessica Nordstrum caught a cold on New Year's Day while she was in Nova Scotia visiting her dearest. Now that she's back at school in Fredericton, this university student isn't feeling any better. So she's at an after-hours clinic looking for an antibiotic for what she believes has developed into a bronchial infection.

She isn't alone. The waiting margin is filled with people who are coughing and sneezing. While the number of H1N1 influenza virus cases has tapered off, the numeral of people who are looking for relief from cold viruses and secondary bacterial infections such as bronchitis is significant, says pharmacist Fraser Hornsby.

What temperature do you recommend to keep in a baby's nursey? What about ceiling fans and humidifiers?

I here conflicting reports on how common cold it should be and sometimes too much circulation isn't good either. Any clarifications?


I was told by my daughters's pediatrician to keep her compartment in the mid to upper 60s. Babies sleep better when the room is cooler. Dress them in a sleeper & cover with a come out blanket. Ceiling fans are nice too because the humming sound comforts them. Humidifies are ok when needed, but not on a daily basis. When I followed this advice, both my kids started sleeping through the night.


68 to 70 is a complacent temperature for your child. But talk to your pediatrician and see what they recommend.


68-70 is the most appropriate temp. ceiling fans are good while he/she is awake but it might be a good idea to turn them off while he/she is sleeping so it doesnt dry out the throat or produce a chill.


70, and I would use a humidifiers effort great.

A small bit warmer than you would like. Fans- no good, they can get ear aches, and humidifiers are good for when they are sick
