POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. Since your baby recently had a cold and now has a severe cough, it's important to manage it properly to prevent complications. Here’s what you can do:
Home Remedies for Cough Relief (For babies above 6 months)
🫖 Warm Steam – Sit with your baby in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes to loosen mucus.
💆 Gentle Chest Massage – Use warm mustard oil with ajwain (carom seeds) and massage the chest, back, and feet.
🌿 Tulsi & Ginger Water – If baby is above 6 months, give 1-2 spoons of lukewarm tulsi-ginger water.
🛏 Raise Head While Sleeping – Keep a small towel under the baby’s mattress to keep their head slightly elevated for easier breathing.
💨 Saline Nasal Drops – Use sterile saline drops to clear a blocked nose.
For Younger Babies (Below 6 Months)
✔ Frequent Breastfeeding – Helps soothe the throat and boost immunity.
✔ Saline Drops & Steam Therapy – Keeps airways clear and prevents dry cough.
✔ Ensure Proper Hydration – Helps loosen mucus and ease cough.
When to See a Doctor?
⚠ Breathing difficulty, wheezing, or fast breathing
⚠ High fever (above 100.4°F)
⚠ Refusing to feed or excessive crying
⚠ Cough lasting more than 10 days
Try these remedies, and let me know how your baby is doing! If symptoms worsen, consult a pediatrician.
