A. yes can use saline drops they are respiratory secretions which is present in the narrow respiratory tract of the child. the sound of ghar... ghar.. is present when air passes over these secretions in the narrow respiratory tract. if the respiratory rate of the child is within normal limits and the child is not having any other complaints do not worry about the sound which is present due to respiratory secretions. if you feel that the child is having some difficulty in breathing you can always give nasal saline drops in the nasal cavity which will wash away the mucus present in the nasal cavity as well as the respiratory tract. the problem improve with increasing age of the child when there is broadening of the respiratory tract .

A. First you check the nose do you see any congestion or cluttering into the nose then only use nasal drops but if your child is breathing properly little bit of sound is okay but if the child is not showing any sign of discomfort don’t use nasal drops
