Cough is a protective reflex of the body to expel out the mucus or any irritant factor from the respiratory tract which is most of the time assosiated with cold due to any viral or bacterial infection . A proper examination is required to find the cause .
As a home remedy yyou can start with steam inhalation . Cough can be treated with cough suppressant or antitussives as per the cause. For cold antihistamines arue useful and nasal saline drops are also benifecial .
Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children2 years agoA. You can give indirect steam bath. If Breastfeeding u can add more garlic in ur diet which will help the baby's cold or cough and will also improve lactation. If there is any nasal congestion u can use nasal drops prescribed by ur pediatrician. You cannot do much other home remedies for babies under six months. So if the cold or cough seems to get severe it's good to consult with your pediatrician.
