Management: Many babies have nasal congestion early in life, but they breathe through their noses, and it is important to keep the nasal passages clear. If there is any nasal drainage, gently removing it with a suction bulb and nasal saline helps to relieve the congestion. If it persists, there are tests that can be performed to exam the anatomy of the nasal passage. Pls check the temp as well.
