AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 8 m old boy1 Year agoA. Hello there ma’am please do not worry about it too much. Please increase water intake of the baby. Also make the baby do salt water gargling. Also it is advisable to get the baby evaluated by a doctor and follow doctors advise properly.
Thanks and take care
