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.
