You need to prepare 1 cup of warm water, 1 spoon of salt and a small plastic nose bottle.

Then, you heat the water and add a spoonful of salt to the mixture. After the water cools, you pour this salt water into a plastic nasal dropper. Then, slowly drop 2 drops of salt water into the baby's nose.

Do this 1-2 times a day to protect your child or until cold symptoms subside.

According to Boldsky, citing experts, this home remedy is very safe to use on babies as it helps prevent and even cure colds as the ingredients used are simple and non-toxic.

A mixture of warm water and salt used as nasal drops can help loosen mucus in your baby's airways, thereby relieving congestion.

In addition, this salt solution also has the effect of killing bacteria that can cause colds in infants, thereby preventing illness.
