Hello. Thank you for your question. These are very common symptoms. However there are very few options in this age group. You can use saline nose drops followed by bulb suction of the nose to alleviate congestion. Additionally, you can run a cool mist vaporizer. If the symptoms continue or worsen, or the baby develops fever, I recommend consulting with your doctor.
