What should give a 2 month old for a congested cough and runny nose?

NO MEDS: You can use nasal saline spray followed by nasal aspiration. Cough and cold medications are not recommended for children under the age of 6 years.

No meds: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & exposure to dust, fragrences, smoke & other irritants.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing & cough. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.
