1 year old with nose and chest congestion?
There are several things you could do. Although I avoid over the counter medications. Even for infants they say that they are too strong and can have adverse effects. Keep cleaning out her nose with the bulb, that is relieving her sinuses and not allowing it to go down her throat, which is where the cough comes in. When they sleep their mucus travels down their throat and causes their cough. If her congestion is bad you could run a humidifier in her room but not too close to her. Just enough to keep the air moist. You could also sit in the bathroom with her, hot water only on, and allow her to breathe in the steam. This is also great for croup.
