How do we drain a 4 month olds blocked nose? we have tried suction but not very successful.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No meds !!: The first months are troubled by narrow nasal passages & aggravated by 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 vigorously washing out the nose with saline & suctioning the remainder.Eliminate irritants from babies environment &this will happen less
