If it's flu then it will more than likely just have to run it's course. However, since your little guy is only a few months old you may want to check with your doc.
I don't see a problem with a heater in the room, we have ours on all the time. Were you told that you couldn't have the heat on his room? Just make sure that he doesn't get too hot, if it is comfortable to you then it will be for him as well. Make sure that he gets lots of fluids (either check the ounces of formula he drinks or nurse often.) Remembr that if the fever gets over 101 you should call the doc and don't give any meds without talking to the doc. HTH and he should be getting better soon. Make sure that you get enough rest also because you are apt to have some long days with a sick little one. maggie

My little boy, Lucas as well, was born in December too. He got a terrible cold and I used a vaporizer and saline drops for his nose. Give him lost of love and talk with your doc if you are still unsure.

I have been using a cool mist humidifer for 3 weeks and we are both congested and sick. It is going to our lungs now. …
I have to be a proud mom on this one! My son, Lucas, will be 3 months old on Wed...I put him down for tummy time …
So Lucas will be 5 Mo old on 5-12 and he has begun to SNORE at night! I dont remember Mikey or Carter ever doing that. …
