Can I use this for a 7 week old?

Question

Baby girl has a bit of a cold- no fever. She's just super congested. I bought this one instead of the saline drops thinking this was the saline drops one 😑 it contains 0.125% phenylephrine hydrochloride. Has anyone used this before on an infant?

Answer

No. 
I mean it says the age right on the top....

Answer

Defiantly not says 2-6 for a reason could probably harm your baby. All you can do is get more saline drops and a nose sucker. When the nose is very runny or blocked try sitting the baby in an upright position to help clear it and use a vaporiser or stand in the bathroom with hot water running and let baby breath is the rooms steam. Reallly sucks but no medications can be used besides baby panadol at that age.

Answer

It says right on the top that it's for ages 2-6.

Answer

I advised getting a humidifier in the room she sleeps in. My toddler has always slept with one and it really helps. Or turn the shower on to really hot so the bathroom fills up with steam and sit on the bathroom floor / toilet (NOT in the shower obvs) and hold her for a few minutes to let the steam help decongest her.

Answer

No. Only saline nose spray for children under two unless a doctor recommends it.

Answer

I wouldnt, take her in the bathroom and turn your shower on as hot as it will go, and take your bulb syringe in with you, that should help clear her up.

Answer

Nope! They have zarbees that can be used. But really there is no medicine for cold for infants. You can use come baby Vicks, tiny amount, humidifier steamy showers and saline drops to clear mucus. But that's about it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

No!!! Don't use anything before you baby reaches 2 months and even then consult LO pediatrician for proper dosage... some of those are NOT meant for their little bodies to handle before two and a doctor will not even recommend Tylenol until LO is two months old unless absolutely necessary.

Answer

I'd go back for the saline just to be safe

Answer

Call your pediatrician.
