    Not for kids that small. There is a risk of Reye's Syndrome.

    Whooping cough has been going around here. That's nasty shit for little buggers.

    I had him some of target's brand of ibuprophen for fever reducer. At his age, not much you can give him. I meant to pick him up a gatorade last night after rehearsals but i forgot. I've got so much going on!
    I was told he didn't eat much, two green beans and two spoons of soup. But they did get him to drink two juices. When i got in, he was asleep but then he coughed and he woke up crying. I put him in bed with me and he wanted his "cuppie". I know you said not to give him milk but he drinks milk like crazy!! he is obsessed! We go through a gallon every two days!
    But his taste must be off and he ended up not even drinking it and fell back to sleep. He woke up and didn't cough much.
    I'm hoping he'll be fine for tonight. Got tickets to Sesame Street live. Then his mom and grandma picks him up after the show.

    Not too happy with them two right now but i'm being made to let them have him this weekend. :fire:

    If he's not eating much pick up some pedialyte or the pedialyte freezer pops. They are better for him than gatorade.

    Actually, it's a good idea to keep some around in case he gets a stomache bug.

    My boys DESPISED pedialyte. I had a better chance of getting them to drink battery acid. But if he like it, deifinitely go with this.

    If he won't drink it, just let him have anything that will keep him hydrated, but definitely limit the milk.

    Have you DNA tested the boy to be sure he is your son?
