Question
My son has bouts of stuffiness where he can barely breathe and tries to cough up mucus etc.  These instances are random and after a couple days he clears up again but then a few days later is back to stuffy.  He is teething since 3 months.  Can teething possibly cause this problem or is it clothing, or something else?

We also have a woodstove insert but haven't used it in a few days, yet last night I was in the bathroom running the shower trying to help my son breathe normal.

Thank you.

Answer
Dear C,

It all depends on weather prevailing at this time inside the house and outside, the baby's body composition and the food you give him.

Hence it is best if you consult a Registered Naturopath, Homoeopath or Ayurvedic practitioner.

Giving him luke warm water at regular interval can be tried.

B.Regds.
