Baby has a runny nose: what to do?

A runny nose is one of the most common ailments babies will experience in their early years.

  • Just like adults, a runny nose is one of the symptoms of a cold, and this harmless infection is often cured spontaneously within a few days.
  • Up to the age of 3 months, babies breathe exclusively through their nose, so it's important to keep their airways clear.
  • Wash your baby's nostrils frequently with a diluted seawater-based solution or saline solution.
  • If the symptoms persist or are repeated, it may be allergic rhinitis. Do not hesitate to consult your pediatrician.

I've been having severe congestion & runny my entire pregnancy, currently 9wks 3days. My OB said nasal congestion is very common in early pregnancy. My OB recommended sinus rinse to help clear things out.

Hi mommas! Any recommendations for medicine you gave your infant for a stuffy/runny nose? I’m trying to stay away from Tylenol if possible.

Steam from a hot shower will open up his chest and baby medicine can help but you'd have to call his Dr to see what you can give him some tea will help too
