Suggest Treatment For Cold And Stuffy Nose In Children
Hi, My baby is 16 months old is suffering from cold for the last 2 days and is not comfortable in sleeping as her nose gets blocked. Kindly suggest any nose drops / syrups or else the steam inhaler would be o.k. for her. Kindly suggest a good steam inhaler.
Hello. I just read through your questions. cold symptoms are very common in this age group. The best way to make her comfortable is to use saline nose drops prior to bedtime. If she is unable to blow her nose, as most 16 month olds are, you can use a rubber or plastic bulb syringe to suck out the mucous, approximately 5 minutes after inserting the nose drops. This will clear the nasal passages and make her more comfortable. Inhalers are not necessary. However, a vaporizer with cool water, running in her room overnight, could be helpful.
