A. A 2-month-old baby having a mild cough (4-5 times a day) can be due to several reasons: Possible Reasons: Dry Air or Dust – Can irritate the baby's throat. Mild Cold or Congestion – Common in babies due to a developing immune system. Reflux (Spit-Up) – Acid reflux can sometimes cause mild coughing. Allergies or Irritants – Smoke, strong smells, or perfumes can trigger a cough. Post-Feeding Cough – If milk enters the wrong passage, babies may cough briefly. How to Cure & Manage: ✅ Keep the Air Moist – Use a humidifier in the room or keep a bowl of water near the baby’s bed. ✅ Nasal Saline Drops – If the baby has nasal congestion, saline drops can help clear it. ✅ Proper Burping – Ensure proper burping after feeding to reduce reflux-related coughing. ✅ Breastfeeding – Continue breastfeeding, as it boosts immunity. ✅ Avoid Strong Smells & Smoke – Keep the baby away from perfumes, incense, and pollution. When to See a Doctor? ⚠️ If the cough increases in frequency. ⚠️ Baby has difficulty breathing or wheezing. ⚠️ There is fever, chest congestion, or reduced feeding. Since it is occasional (4-5 times a day), it might not be serious, but keep observing. Let me know if symptoms worsen!
