Hello I understand your concern At 2 months, babies commonly develop mild viral infections like a cold. The throat sound you’re hearing is likely due to mucus in the back of the nose or throat, since babies can’t clear it themselves. No over-the-counter cold or cough medicines No honey, herbal remedies, or vapor rubs directly on skin No antibiotics unless a bacterial infection is confirmed
Next Steps
Saline nasal drops 1 drop in each nostril, can be used every 2 hourly Continue exclusive breast feeding-feed in upright position
Health Tips
Red flags: Breathing fast (more than 60/min), chest indrawing Poor feeding or vomiting feeds Fever > 100.4°F (38°C) Lethargy or irritability Bluish lips or skin Apnea (pauses in breathing

Use a saline nasal drops like Nasoclear or Nasivin s saline drops thrice a day Can use a bulb aspirator to clear the nose after a saline drops insertion, if it’s not helpful. Very good ones are available in the market Keep the baby well hydrated - through breastfeeding ( good feeds) Can prop up the head to relieve breathing Often a humidifier in the room is helpful

Go stepwise as elaborated
