POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your baby has a cough and stuffy nose, try these safe home remedies and care tips:
1. Nasal Congestion Relief
✅ Saline Drops – Put 1-2 drops of saline in each nostril to clear mucus.
✅ Steam Inhalation – Run a hot shower and let the baby breathe in the steam (stay at a safe distance).
✅ Use a Nasal Aspirator – Gently remove mucus after using saline drops.
2. Cough Relief
✅ Breastfeeding/Formula – Keep the baby hydrated for faster recovery.
✅ Warm Mustard Oil Massage – Warm mustard oil with garlic, cool it, and massage the baby’s chest and back.
✅ Elevate Head Slightly – Use a small pillow or folded towel under the mattress to help breathing.
3. Room Environment
✅ Use a Humidifier – Moist air helps in easy breathing.
✅ Keep Baby Away from Smoke/Dust – Avoid perfumes, incense, or cold air exposure.
4. When to See a Doctor?
⚠️ If the baby has fever over 100.4°F
⚠️ If breathing is fast or difficult
⚠️ If the cough is persistent for more than 5-7 days
⚠️ If the baby is refusing to feed
