For home remedies, you can try using a humidifier in the baby’s room to keep the air moist, which can help loosen the mucus. Additionally, gently suctioning the mucus using a nasal aspirator can help clear the baby’s nose if congestion is present. A warm bath can also help by loosening the mucus, and the steam can provide some relief.
Make sure to offer plenty of fluids, as staying hydrated helps thin the mucus. For babies above 6 months, a small amount of warm water with a little honey (if the baby is older than 12 months) can help soothe the throat.
If the mucus is causing significant discomfort or if it’s accompanied by fever or difficulty breathing, it’s best to consult a pediatrician. They may suggest a suitable pediatric syrup or further treatment, especially if there's a risk of infection. Always check with your doctor before using any medication.
