Hello. welcome to HCM.
for infants, mucolytic therapy is the first line of treatment for common cold and stuffy nose. You can increase its efficiency by also using a gentle, smooth tipped manual mucus aspirator. these are available at any baby store. Your doctor is absolutely correct in prescription.
Hope this helps. take care.
