Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hi , my baby is 10 weeks old and has had a cough and blocked nose since last night , she is asleep now but keeps waking up as i think she finds it hard to breathe with a blocked nose , she was also sick after her last feed tonight is there anything i can give her ?
She is having a flu / respiratory infection. Nothing to worry, if she don't have fever, is playful and feeding well. You can use saline nasal drops (available from pharmacy without prescription) to relieve nasal block before feeding and sleeping- two drops in each nostrils 5 minutes apart. You need to take her to doctor only if cough not getting down in 3-4 days, develops fever / breathing difficulty or not feeding well.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
