Home Care:
1. Hydration: Ensure your baby is breastfeeding or formula feeding regularly to stay hydrated.
2. Humidity: Use a humidifier in the baby’s room to help keep the air moist, which can ease congestion.
3. Nasal Saline Drops: Use saline nasal drops to help relieve nasal congestion. You can suction out mucus gently with a bulb syringe if needed.
4. Comfort: Keep your baby elevated slightly during sleep by placing a rolled towel under the mattress (never directly under the baby).
Monitoring:
Temperature Check: Monitor for fever. If the baby has a high fever (over 100.4°F or 38°C), contact a pediatrician.
Watch for Symptoms: Keep an eye on breathing difficulties, lethargy, or feeding issues.
When to Contact a Doctor:
If your baby has difficulty breathing or shows signs of dehydration (like fewer wet diapers).
If the cold symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen.
Always consult your pediatrician for guidance tailored to your baby’s specific situation.
