A. For a 20-day-old baby with a blocked nose due to cold, you can try these gentle home remedies: 1. Saline Drops & Nasal Suction ✔️ Use saline nasal drops (1-2 drops per nostril) to loosen mucus. ✔️ After a few minutes, use a nasal aspirator or bulb syringe to gently remove mucus. 2. Steam Therapy ✔️ Sit with your baby in a steam-filled bathroom (run a hot shower, but don’t place the baby directly in steam). ✔️ This helps loosen congestion. 3. Keep Baby Upright ✔️ Hold the baby in a slightly elevated position while feeding to help with breathing. ✔️ Avoid lying completely flat. 4. Use a Humidifier ✔️ A cool-mist humidifier in the room keeps air moist and prevents dryness. 5. Breastfeeding ✔️ Frequent feeding helps keep the baby hydrated and clears mucus naturally. ⚠️ When to See a Doctor? 🚨 Baby is struggling to breathe (flaring nostrils, chest pulling in). 🚨 Persistent fever (100.4°F or above). 🚨 Not feeding well or showing signs of dehydration (less wet diapers).
