Baby is 1month old, has congestion. will humidifier help?warm or cool? any recommendations?when to go to dr?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal wash: At 4 weeks the primary cause of congestion is the environment. House dust, fragrance, perfumes, detergent or cleaning products all leave scents that may not bother you but irritate a babies nose. A good nasal clean out with saline can remove much of this irritant load, but removing the offending irritants from babies life helps more in the long run.Air particle filters can also help.
