POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 7 m old boy5 months agoA. For a 4-month-old baby with nasal congestion and cough, it's good that you're using nasal drops and an aspirator to help clear the nose. Here are a few additional tips to manage the symptoms:
Keep the air humidified: Use a humidifier in your baby’s room to help prevent the air from becoming too dry, which can worsen congestion.
Elevate the head: When your baby is sleeping, you can slightly elevate the head of the crib to help with nasal drainage. Just make sure the baby is safely positioned to avoid any risks.
Ensure proper hydration: Continue with breastfeeding or formula feeding, as hydration can help thin mucus and relieve congestion.
Warm steam: If your baby is comfortable, holding them in a bathroom with warm, steamy air can also help loosen mucus.
If the symptoms persist for more than a few days or seem to worsen, or if the baby develops a fever or difficulty breathing, it’s important to consult your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues, such as an infection.
