3 days old son (cesarean birth) has stuffy, runny nose. what should i do? can i put any drops for him?

Not necessary...: But you can use a bulb suction device to clear his nostrils. You can also put a drop or two of warm salt water in a nostril and then use the suction device. Noisy breathing is common in newborns simply because they're nostrils are so small.

Nasal saline: A generous amount of nasal saline drops can be pushed into the nose and retrieved with a suction bulb to clear the nasal passages.It is available over the counter in the pharmacy section of most stores.

Thanks for asking!: It is ok to put some saline drops in your baby's nose and suck them back out with the suction bulb. If your child has a fever, he or she needs to be seen immediately.
