My babies nose congestion doesn't go away even after I use saline drops.. it's been days.. what to do?

A. If your baby's nose congestion isn't improving even after using saline drops for days, try additional remedies. Use a humidifier in the room to keep the air moist, and make sure the baby is well-hydrated with frequent feeds. You can also try gentle steam therapy by sitting in a steamy bathroom for a few minutes with your baby. Use a nasal aspirator to clear mucus after applying saline drops. Keep your baby's head slightly elevated while sleeping to ease breathing. If congestion persists for more than a week, or if there are signs of difficulty breathing, fever, or poor feeding, consult a pediatrician.
