You can use nasal saline drops frequently,no harm in using it...
Keep baby's room warm in winter so there will be less chance of nasal blockage

Hi,
Continue saline nasal drops for nose block and then clean with cotton.
Do steam inhalation

Nose block, noisy breathing will be there for next 2-3 months. This is normal

Continue with saline nasal spray
Keep him warm if weather is cold
If he is able to suck well nothing to worry
As he grows nasal passages will increase in size
