Remedies for Infant Congestion

Out little 6 month old is badly congested. She breathes and sounds like there’s a whole slew of mucus in her chest. It came after a cold where she had a runny nose.

Baby Is Sick

My daughter is almost 4 months old and she has diarrhea. I know that there is not much that I can do for her but does anyone have any suggestions. I bf so I am trying to feed her a little more often to keep her hydrated. She is not crying all of the time or anything just wondering what I should do. I am changing 2-3 messy diapers an hour sometimes more. She is getting a horrible diaper rash so I am hoping to remedy this quickly. Thanks.
