Nasal congestion
Hi,
My baby (boy) is 50 days old. From past one week he is suffering from nasal congestion. He will be fine in the morning but in the night he struggles a lot to breath.
Saline Nasal drops isn't working, we even tried using humidifier. Previously Dr. Had prescribed flucold drops 0.3ml twice.
Is it safe to continue using this drops. I am giving 0.2 ml only in the night. Please suggest how can treat his congestion.
His night congestion episodes were extreme. But he will be fine next morning.

No medicines other than occasional use of saline nasal drop is advised. Keep the head end slightly raised. Place a pillow below the shoulder.
