Ac temperature for infant
Hi Doctors,
I have a baby boy of age 1 month. We feel that he suffers from congestion during morning time. Not sure if it's due to ac. May I please know what is the Suitable ac temperature for infant (age 1 month). We currently run our ac at 29-30 degree Celsius (during night).
Please confirm.

Temperature of ac should be between 24 to 26
Depends on your comfort
Congestion in one month in the morning may be due to accumulation of secretions at night
Consult if he has cough or cold

Hi.
Most newborns have nose block, use saline nasal drops and then clean the nose if noisy breathing.
This noisy breathing would be there for 3-5 months.
There is no ideal AC temperature, but see to that baby’s hand and feet are not chill/ blue.
