Suggest Treatment For Severe Cold In An Infant
Question: my two months old baby having severe cold, now i am using nasal clear for the past two days
Brief Answer:
consult your doctor.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing to us .
Severe cold causes nose block to the child and making him or her difficult to breathe.
So using nasal drops to clear the blocked nose will be sufficient.
How ever , if the baby develops severe cough, continuous sneezing, fever , fast breathing and chest retractions , then it ll be better to consult a pediatrician for further management.
So my advice is to use the nasal drops around 2 to 3 times a day. If the cold is not subsiding , then consult your doctor.
Thank you, regards
