Anita N KamraGuardian of a 2 m old girl2 weeks agoA. Hi dear parents,
A blocked nose and cough are quite normal in newborns. Check for the signs
- A Blocked nose can be treated with a Saline solution which is sodium water safe for babies. 1-2 drops in each nostril will do the magic. it's safe to give 10-11 drops in a day as mentioned by our pediatrician.
- Coughing is also normal while taking the feed. Sometimes my daughter coughs in sleep sometimes she makes sounds like she is choking. sometimes she coughs 4-5 times in a row when she wakes up hungry. It's all ok..unless your baby chest is heavy or there are signs of congestion.
In case of feeding with a bottle please be mindful about the feed temperature should be at room temperature or a little warm you can test it on your wrist or back of the hand. Milk/feed must not be cold this can cause chest congestion.
Visit the Doctor in case coughing is severe and your baby is not comfortable.
