Question
How should I deal with a 80-day-old baby’s cold and nasal congestion?
Answer
The baby might have caught a cold due to catching a chill, and the nasal congestion can affect the baby’s breathing. If there are nasal crusts at the nostril opening, you can use a disposable cotton swab to gently remove them. If the mucus is deep in the nasal cavity, gently press on the nostrils, and if necessary, drop 1-2 drops of physiological saline or cold water to help loosen the mucus, then use a disposable cotton swab to remove it.
