A. If your 2-month-old baby has cold and cough, you need to be extra careful since babies at this age have delicate immune systems. Here’s what you can do: 1. Keep Baby’s Nose Clear ✅ Use saline drops – Put 1-2 drops of saline (nasal) drops in each nostril and suction out mucus with a nasal aspirator. ✅ Steam therapy – Sit in a steamy bathroom with the baby for a few minutes to help loosen mucus. 2. Continue Breastfeeding ✅ Breastfeed frequently – Mother’s milk has antibodies that help fight infections and keep the baby hydrated. 3. Keep Baby Warm & Comfortable ✅ Dress in layers – Avoid over or under-dressing. ✅ Use a humidifier – Helps maintain moisture in the air to ease congestion. 4. Gentle Chest Massage ✅ Warm mustard oil with garlic and massage gently on the baby’s chest, back, and feet. 5. Avoid Over-the-Counter Medicines ❌ Do NOT give honey, vapor rubs, or cough syrups at this age. When to See a Doctor? 🚨 Seek immediate medical help if the baby has: Fast breathing or difficulty in breathing. High fever (100.4°F or above). Wheezing or persistent cough. Not feeding well or seems very weak. Since your baby is only 2 months old, if the cough is severe or persists for more than 2-3 days, consult a pediatrician immediately. Let me know if you need further guidance!
