Hello. Thank you for your question. This is very common in the first year of life and does not mean that there is something wrong with him. Unfortunately, there are no safe cold medicines in children of this age. For congestion, we can use saline nose drops followed by bulb suction. Again, though, colds with runny nose happen frequently at this age and should not cause you any anxiety.
