Dr. Shah Chowdhury answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

NO Medicines...,: Make sure baby's nose is not blocked. Suck any drainage with a bulb syringe. Can put saline nasal drop (otc) 4-5 drops in each nostril if thick mucous. Keep room temperature 70 f daytime and 68 f at night. Use a humidifier in the room. If these doesn't work, see baby's pediatrician.
