A member asked:

Why has my 4 month old son been having cold like symptoms since birth but no fever and really really bad congestion in his nose and throat.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Colds forever: 1) infants are notorious for catching "cold" viruses repetitively such that it seems as if they have a perpetual cold - are they in daycare? Use Normal Saline flushing. 2) is congestion and coughing related to food intake - could be reflux symptoms. Please see your pediatrician.
