Hi,
Thanks and welcome to healthcare magic.
Wickoryl syrup or drops can be given safely to 8 months old baby .
Local instillation of saline nasal drops relieves congestion and blocked nose.
Zn-20 syrup 5 ml will prevent cold.
If possible steam inhalation gives relief soon.
Keep the baby warm and avoid cold atmosphere.
Hope this answer serves your purpose .
Please feel free to ask further queries if any.
