Dr Weyinmi Orighoye · Answer

@Moemeke, Future drug resistance is what we tend to fight. If there's no need for a drug, don't give it. I guess every doctor has their own way of practice. I understand mothers though. No time for the frustration.

Mummy Ambless · Answer

U can still use breastmilk as well drop it inside his nose.. And also breastfeed him very well

Please since the weather is cold now you can keep him away from AC or fan and make u cover him very well if possible bath him once a day then powder him at night.

Same happened to my 4 months old and the doctor recommended bell's baby cough syrup with vit c to be taken for 5 days .2.5ml and she has thrown up all the cough she has inside.she is fine now and I can sleep at night now .you can also try it too because waiting for that viral days to be over as recommended by most doctors can be so frustrating for mothers .having to see your baby not eat and cry all the time.for the blocked nose please buy olbas and it will clear the blocked nose.
