Baby 5 months rubs his ears and congested nose

Hello ,

Thank you for your question.

Actually, depending on the time frame of symptoms. If your baby is rubbing ears and he has a congested/runny nose for a week with fever; if baby is eating less or less playful; you should consult a doctor.

If the delay is less than 7 days, you can relieve his symptoms with saline water. Talk to a pharmacist for advice on an appropriate product. An application of a warm water/tide compress may provide relief.

Do not hesitate to ask questions.

Well done,

Thao Bui, pharmacist
