Normal saline will not help.
It is just water and some electrolyte.
Take proper homoeopathic treatment.
You can consult me at Lybrate.
Till then take zincum met 30.

Hiv virus can survive normal saline.
Though hiv virus rarely survive outside body.
It survive in body fluids.
For cleaning instruments in surgery we use alcohol or formalin. So very low risk of transmission via surgery.
Hiv don't transmit via minor abrasion on skin.

You need to take the medicines separately in the nebuliser cup and mix it with 2 ml normal saline (you can buy separately) and switch on the nebuliser and place it on the face of your child.
