POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. A blocked nose in your 6-month-old baby, especially in the mornings, could be due to several common reasons. One possible cause is dry air, which can lead to nasal congestion during sleep, particularly in colder weather or if you're using air conditioning or heating. Another common reason is post-nasal drip or allergies, which can cause mucus to accumulate in the nose overnight. Babies also tend to get nasal congestion due to viral infections like the common cold, or sinus issues, though these are less likely without other symptoms like a fever. The saline drops you're using are helpful for clearing mucus, and Cinerest AF (a combination of antihistamine and decongestant) might be prescribed if there is an allergic component, though it should be used with caution and under a doctor's guidance for babies. If your baby’s congestion persists or worsens, it would be best to consult your pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment options.
