Nose blockage and cold and fever
Happy new year to all doctors on practo
Hi doctors
My baby is 11 months old. And his weight is 9.5 kg. He has been suffering from cold for past two days.
But from yesterday night. He got high fever of 101° at midnight and his nose got blocked badly.
I used nasoclear nasal drops. But helped only few minutes after that he wake up and in this way he slept not more than 1 hour in whole night.
Also for fever I gave him t98 drops.
Tears on eyes and runny nose with yellow mucus still persists.
I am using cold mist humidifier but no relief at all.
So please suggest what to do for his nose congestion .bcz he breathe by mouth. And refuse to eat anything except breastfeeding.
Pls help me.

Happy new year to you & yours . The description of your babies illness is suggestive of viral illness .Please use saline nose drops before each feed & do give paracetamol also round the clock for two days. At the same time be vigilant to note chest retractions, nasal flare etc signs of respiratory distress .if any of this is suspected do visit doctor quickly .
Hope this is helpful.
