¡Bienvenidos! 

¡Vamos! Let’s go!

My baby has had four days of coughing and nasal congestion.

Mi bebé ha tenido cuatro días de tos y la nariz congestionada.

It looks like he has a common cold. The good thing is his lungs are clear, his oxygen saturation is 100%, he looks comfortable, well hydrated, and doesn’t have any signs of a secondary infection.

Se ve que tiene un resfriado común.  Lo bueno es que los pulmones están claros, su saturación de oxígeno está en 100%, se ve cómodo, bien hidratado, y no tiene señas de una infección secundaria. 

What can I do to help him?

¿Qué puedo hacer para ayudarlo?

Use saline in the nose and succion what you can from the nose.

Usa salina en la nariz y succiona lo que puedas de la nariz.

Also, use a humidifier and sleep him upright.

También, usa una humidificadora y duérmelo más sentadito. 

¡Hasta Luego!
