POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. For a 4-month-old baby with a dry cough, it’s best to avoid self-medicating and consult a pediatrician before giving any medicine or drops. However, you can try some home remedies to ease the cough:
Saline drops: Use nasal saline drops to clear nasal congestion. Steam therapy: Let the baby breathe in mild steam (not too close) to loosen mucus. Elevate the head: Keep the baby's head slightly elevated while sleeping. Breastfeeding: Continue frequent breastfeeding to keep the throat hydrated.
If the cough persists for more than 3-4 days, or is accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or wheezing, consult a pediatrician immediately.
