Please advise best meds for slight nose leak for 10 month old baby.

Nothing: The narrow nasal passages of infants are constantly bothered by dust, fumes & other irritants that do not bother adults. Their system tries to flush them with nasal mucus & can become congested or cough. Cleaning the nostrils with nasal saline wash & removing environmental irritants are the best approach. OTC meds are not helpful & may make them worse.

Cause: A slight runny nose may be managed with nasal saline drops and gentle suction. Watch for fever, cough and distress. Please follow up with you Pediatrician.
