A member asked:

Can i use saline solution for my 1 month old baby for her congestion? and is it safe for her? any recommendations?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Standard treatment: 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. The best rx is washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder. Eliminate irritants from babies environment & this will happen less.
