A member asked:
My daughter is 2 months old and since birth has sounded like she is congested. she shows no symptoms of a cold. is this normal for her age?

Yes: It certainly can be. Some babies have mild nasal congestion until around 6m/a, due to immaturioty of the nasal passages.Some react to irritants such as cigarrette smoke.Others have an immaturity called traxcheomalacia.Ask your doctor.

Nasal congestion: At 2mo the primary cause of congestion are irritants.House dust, fragrance, perfumes, detergent or cleaning products all leave scents that don't bother adults but irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants from babies life helps more in the long run.Irritants aggravate colds ; nasal wash helps.
