Question

How can I help a two-month-old baby relieve nasal congestion?

Answer

When a baby has a stuffy nose due to a cold, you can try to clear away dried nasal mucus from the nostrils, or gently press the wings of the nose and drop in physiological saline or cold water to soften the nasal mucus deep inside, then carefully remove it with a sterilized cotton swab. This usually improves the baby’s breathing. However, if the situation is severe, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and treatment. Wishing for a quick recovery!
