Greetings
For an infant this young, you must avoid over-the-counter cough and cold medicines as they can cause serious or life-threatening side effects.
Instead, focus on safe home supportive care by using saline nasal drops to help clear out thick mucus from the nasal passages.
Additionally, you can run a cool-mist humidifier in the baby's room or hold the infant upright to help ease breathing during congestion.
Ensuring the baby stays well-hydrated with regular, frequent breast milk or formula feedings is also essential for their recovery.
