We had them for our daughter when she was a few weeks old too, AmyFlashyP is right doctors knows what there doing and wouldn't prescribe something potentially harmful. We only used them once in the end as the stress it caused her (screaming, which made her cough and her cold worse) outweighed any benefits it might have given. Really all you can do when their that young is ride it out, sitting with them in a steamy room can also help. x
I'm sure the doctor will not of given them if they were bad for your child. I was told to not add any salt to anything you give a child as they get enough of what they need from what they eat that contains salt naturally.
Hope this helps. Amy x
I'm worried about the saline drops that my doctor gave me for my daughter's snuffly cough.
Can she get too much salt from these? Can anyone help?
