A. Steam is the first thing you should try in case of cold & cough. Inhaling steam helps to clear baby’s blocked nose and open blocked airways. It helps your baby to sleep better and speed up recovery from cold , cough & congestion. Rub Baby Vicks to bottom of your baby’s feet and chest at night, cover her feet with cotton socks. Your baby will get instant relief .Roast 2–3 big cloves of garlic & few pinches of Ajwain on tawa for just one minute. You will be able to smell powerful fumes. Let the mixture cool down and make a potli of it and keep near your child bedding. The smell of mixture will heal the cold & cough of your child.  Or Roast Ajwain and rock salt and take a soft muslin cloth and make a potli .. when warm apply gently on chest and back for chest congestion.

A. 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.
