Dont panic: Dont panic. Babies breath through their nose and as result get a lot of mucus in their noses. As a result they have a post nasal drip because they cannot blow their noses properly.Use a bulb syringe to clear your childs nostrils. Use salt water nose drops 4 times a day. Use a vaporizer and elevate the childs mattress where he sleeps.

Not sure.: It depends on how long the symptoms have been developed. If it's just less than a day or 2-3 days without ant other symptoms, then it's just a viral illness. There is no need for an er visit. However, if this is more than 5-6 days, please has your pediatrician double check for any other problem.
