A member asked:

My baby has a blocked nose, breathing problem and can't sleep. how do i unblock his nose?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Normal saline drops: Try Normal Saline drops (5-10/nostril) and suctioning, and if that doesn't work, talk with your pediatrician. Suctioning is especially helpful before feedings.
