About nasal saline drop usage
Hi Doctors, My son is is 7 months old and suffering from seasonal cold and cough. He is having severe nose blockage so he coudnt sleep at night from last two nights. So i put nasal saline drop every 2 hours in his nose to clear the blockage. Then he sleeps. Again after 2 hours he will wake up bcoz of blockage so again I had to put drop
Is it good to use nasal saline drop every 2 hours. Or is there any other alternative for this situation?

Nasal saline is more like nose cleansing drops. Don't worry about it you can use it every 2-3 hourly.
You should once visit physically for examination and cause of nose block.
Next Steps
Visit nearby pediatrician for examination and medications

There is no harm in using saline nasal drops at any frequency.
At 7 months, no other medications are required.
If A/C is at very low temperatures, set it to 25-28 •F
And if fan is very fast, may reduce speeds a little
Next Steps
Consult for further evaluation and other medications, if needed
