Dear Patient,

The problem is when a baby is so small we can't recommend medications. You can nebulize the baby with normal saline 2-3 times/day for 5mins each. If not possible you can fill a small room with steam and sit with your child, make sure to be away from the hot water to keep your child safe. If the child throws up after feed, in this case, its good, you will notice phlegm coming out. At bedtime apply woodwards chest rub on chest and back and soles of feet and put socks on. Avoid direct air of fan/ac on the nose. Use norsaline p drops. Make her room dust free and clean daily.

Moreover, if you need further help, we recommend checking with a best child specialist in Karachi and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/karachi/child-specialist
