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?

I'm sorry to hear your baby isn't feeling well. For nasal congestion, you can try a saline nasal spray like Little Remedies Saline Nasal Spray or Aqua Maris Baby Nasal Spray, which is safe for babies and helps relieve nasal blockage. If symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your pediatrician for further guidance.

I'm trying to figure out which medicine we should use for nebulization for my 7-year-old who's dealing with a cold and cough. We've been trying steam, but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Any advice on what might be more effective?
Visit pulmonologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm really worried because the doctor mentioned that my daughter is allergic to climate change. We're currently giving her nebulization, but she's still coughing quite a bit. Is there anything else we can do to help her manage this?
It sounds like your doctor suspects an allergy triggered by changes in the weather, which can worsen symptoms like coughing. Nebulization should help with breathing, but if the coughing persists, it's important to follow up for additional treatments or medications to manage the allergy better.
