General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

One of easiest ways to clear a baby's nose is to use a saline nasal spray.
 Nasal spray works by thinning out the mucus, allowing the nose to clear out and ease congestion.
If you can't run to the store for saline drops or spray, try mixing one cup of warm, filtered water and a ½ teaspoon of salt.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
