Get a humidifier at home. Buy a nebulizer and saline solution and let your baby inhale the mist twice a day. It worked for my 3 month old.

A humidifier with Vicks solution made for humidifiers at night time would be helpful. During the day, take him or her into the bathroom and run the shower as hot as possible, and let the baby breathe the warm air; this will help break up some of the mucous.

One of the simplest remedies is steam inhalation. You can do this by running hot water in the bathroom and closing the door. Once the steam fills, close the tap and sit in the bathroom with your baby for at least 5-10minutes twice a day. Let the child breath in and out. This will help clear the chest.
