Please suggest an alternative decongestant for my three-month-old daughter who has a cough.

Asked by Female, 3 · 25 days ago

Oral or over-the-counter decongestant medications are not advised for a three-month-old; instead, saline nasal drops and mild suction with a bulb syringe can help relieve congestion. Before attempting any other medication, call your pediatrician if her cough or breathing issues continue or get worse.
