Newborn With Congestion. Difficulty In Feeding And Sleeping. Family History Of Allergies. Need Help
Doctor I have a 15 week old baby who has been very congested it started Sunday going in 5 days. He having problems feeding and sleeping I have tried everything to saline drops sucker vaporizer humidifier sitting in bathroom with hot water on have him sit upright and nothing very bad allergies run in family please help!!!!!!
I do understand your concern and worry .Usually babies have congested chest in Upper Respiratory tract infection or in Gastroesophageal reflux. Allergies can be diagnosed only with time.
At present if the baby is feeding well and active ,then i would suggest you could continue instilling nasal saline drops.If at any time there is increase in the breathing rate and baby is not feeding well then get him examined by his doctor.
