Hello mam, Okay tats good you gave saline drops. Inhalation of steam it's k but not tat recommended.. Since I can't get to know how the actual condition of the child is so it's difficult for me to advice you anything regarding treatment of your baby
Next Steps
visit nearby pediatrician.
Health Tips
if baby develops fast breathing immediately visit pediatrician
