A member asked:

Hi, our two week old baby has got a blocked nose(started on monday), it is not getting better and she has no fever but is getting more and more unsettled. we are already using a baby seline spray plus a nose unblocking sucking thing. nothing works?

Work harder: Babies have a tiny nose & narrow nasal passages. Small amounts of dust, fumes, fragrances & other airborne irritants that don't bother you will cause them to drain & plug their nose. A vigorous nasal saline washout ( fire hose) is really the ONLY thing that will help them breathe. Removing irritants from their environment will help also.
