It may be difficult to know the exact reason for congestion in a baby, as their airways are not appropriately apart to determine that. If the baby has a runny nose and mucus, it may have nasal congestion. 

Though mild congestion is not a big concern, it must be taken seriously and addressed quickly. However, when the baby is suffering from congestion, the main concern of a mother should be to help the baby by clearing any mucus and keeping them comfortable.

There are several symptoms that babies exhibit when they are suffering from congestion:

• Wheezing
• Coughing
• Grunting
• Trouble while eating
• Constant cold and sneezing
• The presence of thick nasal mucus
• viral infections, such as a cold
• a deviated sputum
• allergies
