Common problem: Infants have narrow nasal passages that are more sensitive to irritants than adults & plug easily. Their para-nasal sinuses are not developed @ 7 mo. Avoiding all fumes, dust, smoke or other irritants is important in these kids. The most effective treatment is a vigorous nasal saline washout followed by suction. Medications are no help.
