A member asked:
Dear doctor my 6 weeks old is coughing and has difficulty breathing, is this normal please advise me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Common: The primary factors in a 6 wk olds congestion/cough is tiny nostrils and airborne irritants. Their body tries to flush the irritants & their nasal mucus plugs the opening. They then rattle & cough. Get nasal saline & vigorously flush their nose & suction out the remaining mucus. Removing any fragrances, dust, smoke, etc. helps in the ling run.
