4 week old baby with blocked nose(snuffles) and AC! Please help..
My 4 week old baby is having severe blocked nose. I know it's not cold because he doesn't have any other symptoms. I suspect the air con is giving him the blocked nose. We keep the temp at 24deg and fan speed to low, the blower does not hit him directly as well. I give him saline drops prescribed by the pediatrician, he sleeps peacefully but Arnd early morn hrs things get real bad. He starts grunting n is really uncomfortable, also I have noticed thick muscus which I carefully remove it by massaging his nose and with a tissue. This has been going on for a couple of days and I'm worried sick! It's not poss to switch off the AC coz we'll bake inside ( I'm scared of over heating the baby and SIDS)n and I really don't know what to do!
Being a ftm, I'm still adjusting to all the baby things, night feeding and to top it I have this new prob. Pls guys, I need suggestions as to how to make my LO more comfortable and get rid of the snuffles. I also have 2 dogs who sleep with us but I doubt it's pet allergy as his mucus is thick n not runny, also this happens only when the air con is on. We have him in 2 layer clothing and a light blanket over him.
Any advise will be highly appreciated..TIA
Xx
