What can I do if my 7-week-old has a cold for many days and isn’t sleeping due to nose congestion?

For tiny babies with a lingering cold, moms commonly use saline drops, nasal aspirators, and doctor-prescribed medicines when congestion is deeper. Always consult a pediatrician if a cold lasts many days.

Moms often start with saline drops to loosen mucus and then gently use a manual nasal aspirator for small babies.

If the mucus feels deeper in the throat or the cold is strong, some moms have used medicines only after consulting their pediatrician.

If a cold lasts around 10 days and baby isn’t sleeping well, it’s a good idea to get the baby checked by the doctor for proper guidance.
