Hello dear parent,you should guve steam to your baby for few minutes and several times in a day. As steam actually helps in opening up nasal passages and also clears congestion of the baby. Also give supplements to your baby like iron calcium and vitamin etc but with the doctors permission only. As these help in increasing immunity also. Good luck and take care
