My 2 month old baby is very congested and i use saline drops when necessary is there any more advice to reduce this?

Common: In babies 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.

Nasal saline : Infants breathe through their noses, and keeping nasal passages clear is an important treatment. If there is a fever,difficulty breathing or poor feeding, please see your pediatrician.
