My son is lying on the couch just not feeling well at all. Last night he had a fever and today he is just very mopey and tired.. What do you do to make your child happier and feel better. I gave him medicine and I told him the day is his. We could watch tv or play any game he wants too. He said he wants to play Thomas the train with me so that is what I am going to do.. WHat do you do when your child is sick to make them feel better??

When my son is sick he likes to be cuddled, and when my daughter is sick she likes bubble baths. For some reason this works to perk them up. I just try to keep them as happy as possible, cuz I don't like it when they're sick and mopey.

Bubble baths.. Thats interesting.. Doesnt it get you so sad when they are sick.. What he wants he gets when he's sick. I just cant help it.

I'm the exact same way, they're usually very happy and energetic, so it's very hard when they're sick.

Hi, luvmysons! I am very sorry that your son is not feeling too well. I hope that he starts to feel better very soon. When my son was sick, I gave him some warm honey lemon tea. It really helped him so much. I also allowed him to take it easy and for him to lie down in the bed. I made sure that he was not too hot. I gave him some medicine for his age. I kept a very close eye on him. If he looked like he was going to be worse, I would contact his doctor for him to be seen. With my daughters it is the same way. My one year old does not drink tea yet. I would just give her some pediatric drops for her age. And if she gets worse, I will contact her doctor too. Anything warm helps like soup. Make sure that he is getting plebty of liquids, like gingerale. Jello that is not cold works too. I do hope that your son will feel much better! This weather is funny and it is risky in getting ill. Take care.
