A. nasoclear drops one in each nostril before feed could help clear the dried mucus..u can use a nasal aspirator to pull the mucus out...or if its not available u can gently use a soft clean cotton cloth to clean the diluted mucus after using the saline drops..as the baby is too tiny...take ample care while putting the drops and cleaning...note that the cleaning with cloth is only for clearly visible dried mucus which is nearly at the entrance of nose only...dont put anything ..deep inside the nose..tq

A. to be continued Give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity. Try to prevent temperature variations around the child You canv go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold Continue the regular diet of the child If there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor For fever and pain give paracetamol
