With the help of one, gently suck mucus from the nose, with the other, inject a small amount of herbal infusion into the nostril (if the crumb lies on the right side, then the infusion is injected into the right nostril and vice versa). Use the first syringe again and suck out the contents of the nasal passage. Repeat the procedure 2-3 times, then turn the child over on the other side and follow all the above steps for the other nostril.

Remove the lid and cover the pan with a diaper. Raise one edge of the diaper at a slight angle so that the rising steam falls on the baby's face. But before directing this steam at the baby, check its temperature on yourself: place your face at the same distance from the pan as the baby's face will be on, and breathe a little. The steam should give you a pleasant warmth. Otherwise, let the broth cool a little more. Duration of inhalation is 5-7 minutes.
