Well... the problem with the head bath comes when it is not dried for a long time . Cleanliness is as important than the treatment. So make sure the baby is bathed at least once in two days . Use your hair drier from a safe distance of 15 cms and dry the hairs properly . I think it should be alright.hope the child is on medication for common cold .
Next Steps
Let me know if it has helped or not . Use mild baby shampoo when giving a head bath.
