I found putting a few drops of peppermint oil in a cup or bowl of hot water (letting it infiltrate the air) helped my kids breathe better with colds. I still do it. It works awesome.
Mind you, at 6 months...its been a long time since my kids were that small. I cant really see it doing any harm.
It could be your child is develpoing an ear infection. If the tylenol is the only thing that will stop the crying that is something to check out.
The only other things I can think of off had is to boil some water, or use a vaporizer to humidify the air.
Use some vicks on his/her chest.
Hold the baby a lot. Babies are usually fussy when unwell & need more reassurance.
It always hard when the kids are hurting or unwell and Mom or Dad can't make it all better. Makes us feel like a failed parent. Hang in there. We have all been there & it will pass. You'll get through fine.
