A. If your baby has chest congestion and a blocked nose, here are some steps you can take to help relieve their symptoms: Home Remedies: 1. Steam Inhalation: Sit in a bathroom with hot water running to create steam. This can help loosen mucus and ease breathing. Ensure your baby is at a safe distance from the hot water. 2. Saline Nasal Drops: Use saline drops to moisten nasal passages. You can follow this with a gentle suction using a bulb syringe to help clear the nose. 3. Hydration: Ensure your baby is well-hydrated. Offer breast milk or formula frequently, as fluids can help thin mucus. 4. Humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in their room to keep the air moist, which can help alleviate congestion. 5. Head Elevation: When your baby sleeps, slightly elevate their head (ensure it’s safe and comfortable) to help with breathing. Comfort Measures: Gentle Chest Massage: A light massage on the chest can help soothe and promote relaxation. Warm Bath: A warm bath can also help provide comfort and loosen congestion. When to Consult a Pediatrician: If symptoms persist, worsen, or are accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or refusal to eat/drink, consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and treatment. They may recommend appropriate medications if necessary.
