Hello
I understand your concern
At 2 months, babies commonly develop mild viral infections like a cold. The throat sound you’re hearing is likely due to mucus in the back of the nose or throat, since babies can’t clear it themselves.
No over-the-counter cold or cough medicines
No honey, herbal remedies, or vapor rubs directly on skin
No antibiotics unless a bacterial infection is confirmed
Next Steps
Saline nasal drops 1 drop in each nostril, can be used every 2 hourly
Continue exclusive breast feeding-feed in upright position
Health Tips
Red flags:
Breathing fast (more than 60/min), chest indrawing
Poor feeding or vomiting feeds
Fever > 100.4°F (38°C)
Lethargy or irritability
Bluish lips or skin
Apnea (pauses in breathing

Can use a bulb aspirator to clear the nose after a saline drops insertion, if it’s not helpful. Very good ones are available in the market
Keep the baby well hydrated - through breastfeeding ( good feeds)
Can prop up the head to relieve breathing
Often a humidifier in the room is helpful
