Jody had her first cold recently.

I put a folded blanket under her mattress to raise her head a bit.
I made a saline solution (1/4t salt with 1c water) and put a drop up each nostril before bed. (replace the solution at least once every 24 hours)
I put about 1/2t eucaliptus oil in a bowl of boiling water under her bed at night.
She sat in the bathroom when DH or I had a shower.
Lots of cuddles and rest.
And some Pamol.

ETA I also put baby balsam on her chest/back but put vasaline on first, morning and night
ETA again; I put vasaline on her lips and nostrils sometimes too so stop them from getting dry and sore, she seemed to really enjoy that.

I've found those nose aspirator bulbs really good for clearing out a blocked nose - tried one for the first time last night on my daughter - so that is my suggestion - get one before you need to use it.

when your little one has a really bad cold to make them feel better?

I'll start:
I cuddle lots and just take the day easy.
I offer lots of sippy cup/BF
I boil water and put Vicks in it under his bed while he sleeps.
I let him eat whatever he will eat
