My son is 10wks old, breastfed and has flu/cold, his coughing and has a blocked stuffy nose. i was sick with flu last week. is there anything i can give him at this age and rub vicks/ carvol on his chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No meds: Most congestion at this age is from airborne irritants/perfumes/dust/etc. A vigorous washout of the nose with saline drops is very helpful. Please never use Vicks or any other stinky material that aggravates this.I never use it under the age of 2.
