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?

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 experiencing some mild itching and discomfort around my anus, mostly during the night. It's starting to worry me a bit because I think it might be pinworms.

Question

I'm a breastfeeding mom with a 2-month-old baby, and I had a really bad migraine last night. I took Disprin and stopped breastfeeding for about 23 hours after that. I even expressed and discarded the milk I produced after taking the medication because I heard aspirin isn't recommended during breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to start breastfeeding again now?
