Nose congestion in 2 month old baby
My lo 2 months 1 week old has a stuffy nose for the past 2 days. Dirt particles are stuck in his nose which leads to snorting noise while he breathes. Used saline nasal spray 2 times and he gets some relief. Also i use vapourizer.But again after one day the same nose block comes back. He is on bf+ff. He takes his feeds well and passes urine and motion asusual. Is it ok or would this lead to cold or flu? Should i visit the doctor?

Nasoclear saline drops just clear the nasal block.
It doesn't help in decreasing nasal congestion.
But if nasal congestion is minimal
then better to avoid to give nasal drops in first 3months of age.
If significant nasal congestion night awakening exessive cry due to nasal congestion then give
Nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 4 times a day for 2 days only.
It will help
