Hello dear parent! Not advisable. Try giving indirect steam inhalation. Add eucalyptus oil to the boiling water for better relief. Keep the water a little away but let the vapour spread. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil for skin warmth.
