Shaista TarannumMom of a 16 yr 7 m old boy4 years agoA. Babies at this age can get cold upto 7-12 times a year. Nothing to worry.
You can use humidifier in the room...this will keep the air moist in the room and will not allow the mucus to harden. It will help to cure a runny nose and nasal congestion.
Keep the sleeping position slightly inclined and head slightly raised. In an elevated position basically to ease breathing.
No home remedy medicines are suggested for such small babies especially giving orally.
If you are using saline drops then store bought
are safer than home made as there is no risk of bacterial growth.
Baby's clothing should be such to protect the chest from cold.
Keep baby's and your hands clean with water or baby wipes so that the germs don't spread.
Garlic and ajwain are known for its anti bacterial and anti viral properties. Dry roast 2 big cloves or garlic and ajwain on a tawa and once cooled maje it into a potli or tight pouch with a clean muslin cloth. Place it near the baby cot or cradle where the baby sleeps. The ajwainy garlicky smoke from the potli will help the baby to open the blocked nose and relieve from congestion.
