#asktheexpert I have 3months old girl baby. Her nose got blocked during night time and she woke up whenever it happens and couldn't sleep properly. what to do for this.

A. For a three-month-old baby with a blocked nose, you can try the following: 1. Saline Drops: Use saline nasal drops to help loosen mucus. Administer 1-2 drops in each nostril before feeding or sleeping. 2. Humidifier: Keep a cool-mist humidifier in her room to maintain moisture in the air, which can soothe her nasal passages. 3. Elevate Head: Slightly elevate the head of her crib or bassinet (with a rolled towel under the mattress) to help her breathe easier. 4. Nasal Suction: Use a bulb syringe or nasal aspirator to gently clear her nose if mucus is visible. 5. Keep Her Hydrated: Ensure she stays well-hydrated by encouraging breastfeeding or formula feeding. If her symptoms persist or worsen, consult your pediatrician for further evaluation.
