Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this cold that your baby has. Yes, saline is effective to keep the passages moist and patent. This will help clear secretions preventing increased infection risk. However, should the cold persist or the baby presents with spiking fevers, i will suggest that you seek medical consultation for evaluation and management.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
