In some cases of hydronephrosis in baby boys, surgery may be necessary to address blockages or correct structural abnormalities that are causing the condition. The most common surgical procedure for hydronephrosis is pyeloplasty, which repairs a narrowed or obstructed ureteropelvic junction (UPJ). Other surgical options may include ureteral reimplantation for vesicoureteral reflux or removal of obstructions like kidney stones or tumors

Question

I'm really worried about my 9-month-old baby. He's been having a severe cold and fever, and there's a lot of congestion in his nose and chest. I've been using a baby rub on his chest a couple of times a day, but his nose is still really stuffed up. He's also taking a syrup for the fever. Can you recommend a nasal spray that would help clear up his cold?
