A. For nasal blockage as well as cough and cold you can give nasal saline drops of any brand and it can be given again and again that is cfan be repeated every three hourly. It is salt water so does not have any side effects. Continue feeding milk to the child and try to prevent temperature variations around the child

A. Warm Mustard Oil and Rock Salt Massage Warm a bit of mustard oil and add some rock salt to it. A teaspoon of the salt is what is recommended. Once the mixture is warm enough to apply on the baby’s body, you can slowly massage his chest, back, and feet with this. It is suggested that you also cover the same with a cotton cloth, so that it can provide the required warmth for the baby to feel fine.
