POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. For your 1-year, 1-month-old baby experiencing a runny nose for the past 5 days and a loose tooth for the last 2 days, here’s what you can do:
For the runny nose: Saline drops: Use baby-safe saline nasal drops to help clear out the mucus. Follow with a bulb syringe to gently remove the mucus. Hydration: Keep your baby well-hydrated with breast milk, formula, or water, as fluids help loosen mucus. Humidity: Use a cool mist humidifier in the room to prevent the air from becoming dry, which can irritate your baby’s nose and throat. Steam therapy: Sit in a bathroom with the hot shower running to create steam, which can help loosen mucus and relieve congestion. Elevate the head: Slightly elevate the head of the crib to help with breathing while sleeping. For the loose tooth: A loose tooth in babies around this age is common as they start getting their molars. It may cause some discomfort, but typically, the tooth will either fall out or firm up over time. You can gently massage the gums around the loose tooth to soothe any discomfort. Cold teethers can help numb the area and ease teething pain. Avoid giving the baby hard foods that might worsen the loose tooth. When to see a doctor: If the runny nose lasts longer than a week or is accompanied by fever, wheezing, or difficulty breathing, consult your pediatrician. If the loose tooth causes significant pain, or if you notice any signs of infection, it’s worth checking with a dentist or pediatrician.
