Hello Doctors My nephew is 2 month old and it's winter season and he sometime have cough and sneeze in night.The room gets colder in night. Can you guys suggest if I can use a normal room heater and what are the precautions I need to take care while placing room heater in my nephew's room. Currently I'm using nasal drop as suggested by doctor but it's not showing any help in winter . Can you also suggest any drop to clear his nose in night and it's doses as I notice he makes sound while breathing. Thanks everyone in advance.

Hi.. yes you can use room heater that should be kept a distance away from baby.. check baby in between to avoid overheating of baby.. automated heaters are preferable
