Hi my baby of 2 weeks old nose is blocked and his battling to breath easily. what can we do to make it easier for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal wash: At 2 weeks the primary cause of congestion is the environment. House dust, fragrance, perfumes and cleaning products all leave scents that irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants helps more in the long run.Air particle filters can also help. No meds help this.
