My 6wk old baby girl has stuffy nose for a week & coughing badly for 3 days. trip to the clinic today got saline spray for nose but nothing for cough

None available: A cough in a small infant is an important way they clear mucous. We do not use cough meds at that young age. The saline can help remove irritants that increase coughing, and a vaporizer can help.
