Room heater for my infants
Hello Doctors
My nephew is 2 month old and it's winter season and he sometime have cough and sneeze in night.The room gets colder in night.
Can you guys suggest if I can use a normal room heater and what are the precautions I need to take care while placing room heater in my nephew's room.
Currently I'm using nasal drop as suggested by doctor but it's not showing any help in winter . Can you also suggest any drop to clear his nose in night and it's doses as I notice he makes sound while breathing.
Thanks everyone in advance.
