A. For your one-year-old son who is suffering from a cough and blocked nose, here are a few gentle remedies you can try: 1. Saline Nasal Drops: You can use saline drops to help loosen the mucus in his nose. Gently place a couple of drops in each nostril and then use a nasal aspirator to clear the mucus. 2. Humidifier: A humidifier in his room can help keep the air moist, which can ease the congestion and make breathing easier. Ensure the room is not too dry. 3. Warm Fluids: Give him warm fluids like water or warm breast milk, which can help soothe the throat and relieve the cough. You can also try giving warm soup or herbal teas that are safe for babies. 4. Honey (if above 1 year): If your baby is over one year old, a teaspoon of honey may help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. However, avoid honey in babies under 1 year due to the risk of botulism. 5. Elevate the Head: When he sleeps, try to elevate his head slightly by placing a pillow under his mattress (not directly under his head) to help ease nasal congestion. 6. Rest: Make sure your baby gets plenty of rest, as it helps in recovery from colds and coughs. If symptoms persist for more than a few days, or if you notice difficulty breathing, a high fever, or other concerning signs, consult your pediatrician for further advice.
