Suggest Remedy To Relieve Nasal Congestion In Infant
my baby boy is 7 months old and has suffered from nasal congestion since birth. I have been to Dr several times and they say its normal. Baby sleeps 30 mins at most during the day at any given time, at night baby constantly wakes up. about once every 45mins due to congestion. During the day babies breathing is heavy. Please help.

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
Cough and cold are viral 95% of the times in children. For cold you can use anti-allergics like cetirizine and for nose block, saline nasal decongestants will do.
For nasal block, plain saline nasal drops will do, every 4-6th hourly to relive nasal congestion.
