Hello. It sounds like your little puppy may have a respiratory infection. Unfortunately, there really are no safe over the counter medications for a puppy this young. Do NOT give any children’s cold medication or ibuprofen, Tylenol, etc. Closely monitor his temperature and encourage him to eat and drink. Some of these infections run their course on their own, but it can be more problematic in a very young puppy of 2 months of age. If your puppy’s fever continues and he becomes lethargic, not eating or develops a thick nasal discharge, veterinary care will be required.
