A. It sounds like your baby is recovering from a fever but still dealing with a persistent cough, which can sometimes linger even after the fever subsides. The cough could be due to the residual effects of the illness, such as a viral infection like a cold or flu. If the cough is causing pain and your baby is unwilling to eat or drink, it could be due to throat irritation or discomfort while swallowing. To help ease the cough, you can try: Keeping the air humid by using a humidifier in the room. Offering warm fluids like diluted honey (if your baby is over 1 year old) or warm water to soothe the throat. Keeping your baby hydrated with small sips of water or electrolyte drinks. If the cough persists for more than a few days, is accompanied by wheezing or difficulty breathing, or if your baby is not drinking fluids or eating, it's important to consult your pediatrician for further advice and treatment.
