Dr thinks it’s flu though not positive. But baby is terribly congested.
Any safe home remedies to get baby more comfortable?

My Dr recommended nasal saline spray. She specifically recommended something called xlear. Ive been using it and using on my 18 m.o. However, I don't know what ages it is okay for.

eta- meant to write that I have found it to be extremely helpful

I've been hearing the Nozebot is amazing. Expensive though!

Joining the saline and nose frida crew. The electric nose frida doesn’t work well I’ve found. I recommend using the one that uses your breath as suction. It works so well. I do it before every nap. Babies are so miserable when they have colds.
