A. To help control a cough in a 10-month-old baby, consider these steps: Home Remedies: 1. Humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in the baby's room to keep the air moist, which can help soothe the throat and loosen mucus. 2. Saline Drops: Administer saline nasal drops to help moisten nasal passages and clear congestion, which can reduce coughing. 3. Warm Fluids: If your baby is eating solids, offer warm liquids like diluted chicken broth or warm water to soothe the throat. 4. Honey: If your baby is over one year old, a small amount of honey can help soothe a cough (do not give honey to infants under one year). Comfort Measures: Positioning: Keep your baby’s head elevated while sleeping to help with drainage and ease breathing. Gentle Patting: Lightly patting your baby’s back can help loosen mucus. When to Consult a Pediatrician: If the cough lasts more than a few days, is accompanied by high fever, difficulty breathing, or if your baby is not feeding well, seek medical attention promptly. Note: Always consult a healthcare professional for specific guidance tailored to your baby’s health needs.
