A. oil should not be put inside the nose and ears. it is harmful and it can cause infection. it is quite common at this age. To avoid nasal blockage steam inhalation can be given.

A. You should not put oil in ear and nose it's not good for small babies,if you see baby is getting cold right after head bath then make sure you first maintain warm room temperature and while massage also room temperature is warm and do not expose in air baby for long and lastly don't put oil on babies head after bath only apply oil when you massage your baby and then wash it off rest of the time keep babies hair oil free.
