Congestion for over three weeks

My 7-week-old has had a snotty, congested nose for over three weeks now.

All the medical professionals I've spoken to so far reckon it's just a cold or other mild virus, and don't seem worried.

I just think it's a long time to have a blocked nose, and it's started to interfere with his feeding. His weight gain has pretty much flat lined in the last week.

Maybe it's an allergy, or irritated sinuses caused by reflux, or something else?? It does tend to be worst in the morning and not too bad in the evenings.

My DD was incredibly congested, worse overnight due to reflux.

@ForeverTired89 so if it's reflux related I guess it won't go away unless the reflux is treated? He does have some reflux but it doesn't seem super bad and doesn't really seem to bother him. Maybe I should try omeprazole 😕
