Hi shefali... plz don't use saline drops.. the way they work.. they just dry the secretions inside the nasal tracts.. they don't clear it.. n that's more irritating to kids. We never my son used to get cold... I used an azwain potli for this purpose.. u just have to fry a spoon full azwain on tawa.. n then tie it at the end of handkerchief... Now make ur baby smell it very one he or so.. it will loosen the secretion n secretion will come out.. wipe his nose with supersoft cloth. it worked wonders with my kid.. even at night,I used to make him smell it.. two three times n he would sleep peacefully. Also plz raise his head by placing it on a pillow while he sleeps.. this position opens up breathing tract more n its easy for a congested child to breathe. U can also apply Vicks at night.. BT never at his nose or chest!just apply at sole of his feet n cover them with cotton socks
