A member asked:

My baby boy was born 6 weeks ago. he was born almost a month early. lately we have noticed he has a wee snuffle, what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

?irritants?: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & exposure to dust, fragrances, smoke & other irritants.Baby tries to flush these out of the nose with mucous but this often ends as congestion & produces rattling with breathing. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.
