Nasal saline: Monitor the baby's temperature, use nasal saline as needed, to clear nasal passages provide usual formula and keep the baby well hydrated. Please have an evaluation to exclude pulmonary diseases such as pneumonia. If there is respiratory difficulty, please see the Emergency department.
