My baby 7 months old has severely blocked and running nose. Sometimes he feels sufforcated as the blockagce brings difficulties to breathing. Second night he suffers much this blockage,, shouts terribly. I gave crocin drops 1 ml tonight and the previous night. It helps, the baby stops crying and becomes calm and able to sleep.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Crocin drops are for fever and pain relief, they are not meant to be used for nasal block, although may be prescribed sometimes for associated pain or discomfort.
For nasal blockage best is saline nasal drops , used as and when required. In addition decongestant oral drops can be used.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Take care.
