shilpi BhandariMom of 2 children1 Year agoA. Hello mom Along with the medication as suggested by your doctor like Coriminic give your baby indirect steam at least three times in a day and put nasal drops in nose for easy breathing. You can keep his head a little elevated and if baby is six months older than you can rub Vicks on his clothes and you can put ajwain potly which you can make by a roasting the ajwain on the Tawa and then wrap it in a small napkin. This is very helpful in opening the blocked Nose.
