Hello,

It shows her nose is stuffed give normal saline drops in both noses three to four times a day. Also, give the stream twice a day as it will help to secretions to flow and will be easy for baby to get feed. Do nasal cleaning when secretions got soft to keep baby in semi-prone position while feeding.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
