I understand your concern about your infant's noisy breathing. It's not uncommon for parents to mistake a blocked nose for a cold. Fortunately, this issue often resolves itself with a simple treatment. Here's what you can do: Try using saline nasal drops in each nostril 3-4 times a day. This can help loosen and clear out any blockages. However, please monitor your infant closely for any danger signs, including: - Poor feeding or difficulty latching - Fever (temperature over 99.5°F) - Excessive irritability or fussiness - Inability to sleep well at night - Not passing urine for over 6 hours
Next Steps
If you notice any of these symptoms or if the noisy breathing persists, please consult your nearby Pediatrician for further guidance and support. They can assess your infant's condition and provide personalized advice.
Health Tips
Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution when it comes to your infant's health. If you're ever in doubt, don't hesitate to reach out to your Pediatrician.

Hello, regular cold and cough can be managed at home and with continued feeding regularly. If child has feeding issues, breathing problems like fast breathing or breathing with a lot of efforts or noisy breathing, any fever or bluish colour of fingers lips, decrease in activity then you should visit your local doctor.
