Patient's question:
My baby is already two months old. He not only has a stuffy nose but occasionally coughs a few times as well. In other aspects, everything is normal. I'm not sure if this condition is normal or not. Is it normal for newborns to have a stuffy nose and occasionally cough a few times?Doctor's answer:
Hello, two-month-old baby, then there appeared nasal congestion or occasional coughs, which is likely caused by the baby catching a cold. This may lead to symptoms of nasal congestion or coughing in the child. If the child is in good spirits, this cold may be a common viral cold, and nasal irrigation with saline can help alleviate the symptoms. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
