some common suggestions for dealing with mucus and congestion in infants include:
1. Saline Drops: Saline drops can be used to moisten the nasal passages and may help to loosen mucus. Make sure to consult your pediatrician for the appropriate dosage and method.
2. Nasal Aspirator: Some parents use a nasal aspirator (also known as a bulb syringe) to suck out mucus. Be sure to sterilize the aspirator and be very gentle to avoid causing any injury to your baby's delicate nasal passages.
3. Elevate the Head: Elevating the baby's head can help to reduce congestion. Placing a towel or a thin pillow under the mattress (not directly under the baby's head) may help.
4. Humidifier: A cool-mist humidifier can add moisture to the air, which might help to loosen mucus. Make sure the humidifier is clean to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold.
5. Warm Baths: Sometimes a warm bath can help to relax your baby and may also help to loosen mucus. Make sure to keep the bathroom door closed to keep the steam inside.
6. Breastfeeding: If you're breastfeeding, continue to do so. The antibodies in breast milk can help fight off infections.
