Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi
If I were your treating pediatrician i would like to exam the baby for any evidence of pneumonia, wheezing and associated problems .As medicines for respiratory infection are all prescription medicines , and they are guided by condition of baby , you need to consult your pediatrician . For nasal block you can use saline nasal drops , as required.

thanks
