POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. If your baby still has a cold despite using nasal drops, try these additional remedies to help with congestion and relief:
✅ Effective Home Remedies for Baby Cold
1️⃣ Steam Therapy – Sit with your baby in a steamy bathroom (run hot water in a bucket) for 10 minutes to loosen mucus.
2️⃣ Ajwain Potli – Dry roast ajwain (carom seeds) in a cloth and place it near the baby's chest (do not apply directly).
3️⃣ Elevate Head While Sleeping – Keep the baby’s head slightly elevated (by placing a folded towel under the mattress) to help with breathing.
4️⃣ Breastfeeding/Formula – Continue frequent feeds to keep the baby hydrated and boost immunity.
5️⃣ Warm Mustard Oil Massage – Heat mustard oil with garlic and ajwain, cool it, and massage the chest, back, and feet before sleep.
6️⃣ Tulsi Water (If Baby is 6+ Months) – Give a few drops of lukewarm tulsi water to help relieve congestion.
🚨 When to See a Doctor?
❌ Baby has fever above 100.4°F.
❌ Severe cough, wheezing, or difficulty breathing.
❌ Cold lasting more than 10 days.
❌ Baby refuses feeds or looks very weak.
Let me know if your baby also has cough or fever so I can suggest the best remedies!
