Suggest Treatment For Congested Nose
My baby is 9 months & has a congested nose. Her body temperature is at 96.0. Is that ok or should I take her to emerg. She is active n playing, does not seem like anything is bothering her besides when she does go to sleep she is having trouble breathing through her nose.

Hi, I'am Dr Suresh K Yadav MD (paediatrics), I had gone through your question and understand your concerns,
For nasal block I do not think you need to take her to emergency services , temperature you have taken is external body temperature and is OK if baby playful and her extremities are not cold to touch.
Use Saline nasal drops as when required for nasal block.
If there if fever , difficulty in respiration other than nasal block, rapid breathing , respiratory distress , poor feeding or if you otherwise you feel baby is not OK , do consult your health care provider to rule out any serious issue.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Take care
