Congestion , lips gettting darker

2017-11-27 01:24:38
I have a new born son who is 6 days old. He sounds very congested. His mom uses saline drops and the nasal aspirator. Is there anything else we can do or is this just a normal thing ? Also, his lips got darker while he was sleep. We were tempted to go to the hospital but don’t want to go if this is common or if unnecessary. Please answer as soon as possible.
