A. If your 2-month-old baby has a lot of phlegm or mucus, it can be concerning. At this age, it’s important to approach treatment with caution. First, ensure the baby is well-hydrated, as this helps to thin the mucus. You can use saline nasal drops to help loosen the mucus in the nose, which can make it easier for your baby to breathe. A gentle nasal suction device, like a bulb syringe, can also help clear the mucus from the baby's nostrils, but make sure to use it carefully. For chest congestion, you can keep the baby in an upright position while feeding or holding, as it may ease breathing. You can also use a humidifier in the baby’s room to keep the air moist, which can help with congestion. However, it's crucial to avoid using any over-the-counter cough syrups or medications unless prescribed by a doctor, as these can be harmful to such young infants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if the baby shows signs of difficulty breathing, fever, or irritability, it is important to consult with a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment.
