Hello
Most of the time the cold is caused by viral infection.Giving sypmtomatic treatment helps.As salinex contains saline solution and there is no harm in giving this you can use it more frequently.You can also give steam inhalation as it is very good measure to relieve nasal block.Give saline drop before feed to alleviate any problem in feeding due to nasal blockade.
