What medicine should be used for a 6-month-old baby with a stuffy nose and runny nose?

Patient's question:

Please ask if a 6-month-old baby with a stuffy nose and runny nose but no fever should use which kind of medicine? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

1、Sufficient rest is crucial for a cold. Good rest is essential; try to let the child sleep more, appropriately reduce outdoor activities, and avoid overexerting the baby.
2、Make the baby more comfortable. If the baby's nose is stuffy, you can place one or two towels under the child's mattress to slightly elevate the head, which can help relieve nasal congestion. Never let babies under two years old sleep directly on pillows or place pillows under the mattress, as this can easily lead to suffocation or cervical spine injury.
3、Help the baby blow their nose.
4、Maintain moist air.
