POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. For a 7-month-old baby with a cold, cough, and nasal congestion, it's best to follow natural remedies and consult a pediatrician before giving any medicine. Here are some safe options:
Home Remedies: Saline Drops & Nasal Suction – Use saline drops in the nose to loosen mucus, followed by a bulb syringe to clear the nasal passages. Steam Inhalation – Let the baby inhale mild steam by keeping a bowl of warm water nearby or running a hot shower in the bathroom. Breastfeeding/Fluids – If breastfeeding, continue to do so frequently, as it boosts immunity. For formula-fed babies, ensure they stay hydrated. Elevate the Head – Keep the baby's head slightly elevated while sleeping to ease breathing. Warm Mustard Oil Massage – Massage the baby’s chest, back, and feet with warm mustard oil infused with garlic to relieve congestion. Medicines (Consult Doctor Before Use): Nasal Drops: Saline drops like Nasoclear (safe for babies). Cough Syrup: Only if prescribed by a pediatrician. Paracetamol: If the baby has a fever, the doctor may suggest infant paracetamol drops.
Since babies under 1 year should not be given over-the-counter cold medications, consult a pediatrician if symptoms persist for more than a few days or worsen.
