A member asked:
Can my 4 month old baby use medication to treat her cold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not used: Babies ages 2-12 months can easily catch colds. If only a runny nose without much fussiness, without any high fever, without other worrisome symptoms, then parents can leave the nose alone. If mucous is blocking the nose somewhat, some people try a few drops of nasal saline, followed by gentle suctioning with a suction bulb. A doctor should examine the fussy or more symptomatic babies.
