A. If you are referring to “phlegm” (कफ या बलगम) in your 2-month-old baby's neck or chest area, it's common for babies to have mild congestion or phlegm as their immune and respiratory systems are still developing. Here's what you can safely do: 🍼 Home Remedies to Reduce Phlegm in Babies (2 months old): ✅ 1. Steam Therapy (Indirect Only) Sit in a closed bathroom with hot water running (don’t put baby near the hot water). Hold the baby in the steam-filled room for 10–15 minutes. This helps loosen mucus in the throat and chest. ✅ 2. Gentle Chest & Back Tapping Lay baby across your lap, tummy down. Gently tap the upper back with a cupped hand. This helps loosen mucus. ✅ 3. Saline Nasal Drops + Suction Use saline nasal drops (2–3 drops in each nostril) to moisten and clear the airways. Then gently suction with a bulb syringe if needed. This helps if nasal congestion is contributing to throat phlegm. ✅ 4. Keep Baby Upright After Feeding Hold baby upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding. This reduces reflux, which can worsen phlegm. ✅ 5. Hydration Continue frequent breastfeeding or formula feeding. It thins out mucus naturally. 🚨 When to See a Doctor: Take your baby to the pediatrician immediately if: Baby has difficulty breathing, wheezing, or very noisy breathing. Baby has a fever (100.4°F or 38°C or higher). There’s poor feeding, vomiting with mucus, or excessive drowsiness. Mucus is green/yellow and thick for more than 2–3 days.
