Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hello,

If the baby is not having fever, feeding, and urinating normally, activity is normal, then probably nothing to worry. For nasal blockage normal saline nasal drops three to four drops. Calculate the respiratory rate per minute of a baby by observing her respiration. It should be less than sixty per minute. If it is more than sixty, there is rasping in the chest, the baby is having a fever, becoming lethargic, not feeding or urinating normally, then visit you, doctor, urgently.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Khan Shoeb Mohammad Sher Mohammad
