Nasal mucus not coming out on its own
Hi Doc
I am trying nasoclear since yesterday evening, but the issue is, mucus is not draining and not coming out on its own. I can see the mucus in my baby's nose but dont know how to get it out. Also, she has mucus filled somewhere in throat or chest, as i can hear some noise coming from back of throat.
My daughter is 3 months old. Apart from nasoclear, i am giving warm compress on chest and back.

Use nasal drops and after few minutes clear with cotton or ear bud. The sound you hear from throat is also due to nose block.
Next Steps
Clean the nostrils every 4 hrs
