My 2 1/2 Week Old Is Has a Cold!!! I Need Help!!

Hello everyone, I have a 2 1/2 week old baby boy that unfortunaly got a cold from us. The whole family got a cold...our symptoms are stuffy and some of us runny nose (thick), headache (pressure), throat pain. And since last night I think my newborn got it. I can sense it when he breaths like he is congested somehow. He doesn't have a fever, diarrhea and he eats fine but slowly like he has mucus in his throat. You know! And of course the weekend and no doctors open. Can anyone recommend me what is the best thing to do since he is so little?...

Could This Be Allergies or Does My Baby Need to Go to the ENT?

Does anyone have any advice on allergies in infants? My son, who is will be 9 months on the 1st, has had nasal congestion for over a month now. He LITERALLY has had more days with congestion than he hasn't in his 9 months of life. He has had his sinus sucked out (for lack of better words) 3 times now. The doctor inserts a small tube into his nose and turns on a small vacuum like thing, and sucks his sinus out. (although the doc says babies don't have "sinus") He has had 2 rounds of antibiotics because of infection setting in. It...
