When should I worry about congestion in newborn?
Concerning Baby Congestion Symptoms\n\n Your baby has a temperature of 100 degrees for more than three days. Your baby is experiencing ear or sinus pain. There is yellow eye discharge. There is a cough that lasts for more than one week.
Is it normal for newborns to be congested?
Mild congestion is common and not much concern for babies. Babies sometimes need extra help to clear congestion because their lungs are immature and their airways are so tiny. Your care will focus on clearing any mucus from your baby's blocked nose and keeping them comfortable.
How long can newborn congestion last?
Place a cool-mist vaporizer or humidifier in your baby's room to add moisture to the air. It helps clear their stuffy nose. Clean the machine regularly so mold doesn't grow inside it. You can get the same soothing effect if you and your baby sit in a steamy bathroom.
