Nasal congestion and heavy breathing
Hi doctor
I have observed that my son has had nasal congestion and heavy breathing during the night times since birth.
Every pediatrician suggests saline drops. I have been using it regularly, but I don't think it's helping anymore.
He developed a fever almost 3 times in the last one month along with severe cold. Blood and urine samples were tested.
He was diagnosed with an infection and antibiotics were given for 6 days. By the 4th day he was almost completely normal. Today is the 6th day, his cold and stuffy nose has come back again.
He is unable to sleep. What has to be done? Should I visit an ENT?
