What remedies can help an 8-month-old with a runny nose sleep better?

A runny nose often disrupts sleep, but several gentle remedies can provide relief. You can use a saline nasal spray to clear the nasal passages, or run a humidifier in the room to keep the air moist. Applying a warm massage to the feet using mustard oil infused with cooked garlic, or placing an ajwain (carom seed) potli near the sleep area, are traditional methods many parents find helpful. Always monitor your baby's comfort and consult your pediatrician if the congestion persists or interferes with breathing.
