Q.

Our 1 month old baby has a narrow nasal passage apparently. She takes long time to feed and finds it difficult to suck milk while breastfeeding. When will the nasal passage problem resolve? Do we need to do something other than giving nasal drops?

A. no only saline drops as medicine to be given give nasal saline drops every few hourly to the child in the nasal cavity. try to prevent temperature variations around the child you can go for indirect steam inhalation which will again help in decreasing both cough and cold continue the regular diet of the child if there is no improvement in few days then meet your doctor for fever and pain give paracetamol. anti-cold medicines at this age have got side effects so can be given only after medical consultation.

A. If this is a problem which is associated from the time of birth then for this you should get it checked with an ENT doctor as they can tell you what is the reason and how much time it is going to be better as the dogs can give me for 5 to 6 hours to a child
