Post subject: Baby has terrible nasal congestion and cannot suck bottle Our baby is having terrible trouble breathing through his nose - we have been to A&E and the Drs but both said he is ok (of course he wasnt doing it during the day). But every night he is unalbe to feed and make terrible snorting noises as if trying to clear blocked mucas from his throat or nasal passage.
We are at our wits end worrying if he can breathe ok and feeding is a nightmare. Can anyone suggest anything or help? Posted: Sun Feb 10, 2008 12:33 pm
Post subject: hi
this isnt fun! have you tried saline drops? it worked for us and bubba sneezed the mucas out! Also try karvol drops, put one or two drops on a tissue and leave near the cot or steam the bedroom good luck Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 11:34 am
Post subject: stuffy nosed hi since birth my baby has had a problem with breathing through his nosewhen he was 6 weeks it was still a problem the docter sent him to have a chest xray,the results showed a shadowand was given antibotics which seem to be helping only half way through the course.

I thought about menthol crystal but was told to be very careful and not use them as young babies noses are sensitive try raising the mattress with a pillow it is scary esp at night when you think they are having difficulty breathing
