Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children3 years agoA. If there is heavy running nose or cold and she seems cranky and intolerable then please take her to the doctor. Or if it is mild and just started you can try this home remedy. Heat coconut oil and add little bit of powdered camphor (pure one without chemicals). Once the mixture is lukewarm apply on the baby's chest, back, neck, nose and feet gently. Also make sure you add only little amount of camphor as it can cause skin irritation. For cough, while boiling water at the end add some jeera or cumin seeds. Give this water two or three spoons instead of water.
