POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. For a 10-month-old baby with cold and nasal congestion, medication should be used cautiously and only under pediatric guidance. Instead, you can try the following safe remedies to provide relief:
Safe Remedies:
1. Saline Nasal Drops: Use saline drops (2-3 drops in each nostril) to help clear nasal congestion. Follow up with gentle suction using a bulb syringe or nasal aspirator.
2. Steam Inhalation: Place a bowl of warm water nearby (but out of reach) or run a hot shower to create steam in the bathroom. Sit with your baby to help loosen mucus.
3. Elevate Head: Slightly elevate the baby's head during sleep by placing a folded towel under the mattress.
4. Hydration: Ensure your baby stays hydrated through breast milk, formula, or water (if appropriate).
5. Humidifier: Use a humidifier in the baby’s room to maintain moisture in the air
