Cold and cough
Hello Doctor,
My daughter is 2.5 months old, and she is having cold and cough from last 2 days.
As advised by doctor we are using solvin cold AF syrup[6 drops] twice in a day, but we don't see any improvement.
Baby is having around 15+ sneezing in a day with wheezing sound and Phelgum and also passing green colour stools little qty 3 to 4 times a day, and always prefers to sleep, as if she is tired.
We didn't observe any issue in breathing, and feeding is normal [little less compared when she is active]..
Is there anything to worry, or it is just a infection due to water or climate change...
Please suggest if any precautions or any medicine to follow.
Thanking you in advance

Hello.
Its just nasal blockage. Since the baby's nostrils are small her nose get blocked too often, in response to this baby sneezes repeatedly and develop cough and noisy breathing.
Drop nasoclear 2 drops nasally every 4 hours amd clean each nostril with cotton.
Give steam inhalation with plain water 2-3 times a day. Keep giving breastmilk
