You can do this as often as you like with no side effects. For a baby, you'll need to have them leaning forward like on your lap on their belly facing the floor.
I would try a saline nasal rinse (not a spray.) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It soothes with warmth, it draws out the entire gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean, but without the eye stinging).
Buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot
You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. If you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis

Most saline nasal drops are just a salt+water mix. But always check with your doctor first

Saline drops are safe to use however much your baby needs them like gas drops you cant overdose becuase it is not a medicine. That is what i was told by a dr.
Good luck.

Depends on the product. Check the directions on the bottle.

You can actually give it to him whenever and however much you want to. Its not a prescribed medication. It will not hurt at all.
