Prakrati SaxenaMom of 2 children3 years agoA. my baby is 11 months old and he recently suffered from the same problem. but by God's grace he's well now. i offered him warm.milk and warm water. he was given steam once a day. nasal saline drops everytime before breastfeeding. allopathic doctor medicine for three days which shud be given only after check up. massaging chest at night with desi ghee mixed with rock salt lukewarm. i also tried one kadha.. paan ka patta, azwain and little jaggery to make it sweet. boil in one glass of water till the time it becomes just half and give to baby in a day multiple times lukewarm not cold.
and one suggestion don't give plain milk to Baby as it makes mucous. add a bit of ginger to it before giving..just for the sake of changing the texture of milk.
and steam works miraculously.

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. If there is heavy running nose or cold and she seems cranky and intolerable then please take her to the doctor. Or if it is mild and just started you can try this home remedy. Heat coconut oil and add little bit of powdered camphor (pure one without chemicals). Once the mixture is lukewarm apply on the baby's chest, back, neck, nose and feet gently. Also make sure you add only little amount of camphor as it can cause skin irritation.
