Question

My baby was born twelve days ago and has phlegm in his throat, and his nose is not clear. The doctor suggested that he stay in an incubator. I want to know how long it usually takes for him to improve? Today, he has been in the incubator for two days, and the doctor says the condition is still the same. How long does it usually take for improvement?
