A. For a baby with a cough for the past 2-3 days, try these home remedies and care tips: Keep the baby hydrated with warm water, breast milk, or formula to soothe the throat. Use steam therapy by running a hot shower and sitting with the baby in the bathroom for a few minutes. Saline nasal drops can help if the baby has a stuffy nose. Raise the head slightly while sleeping to ease congestion. Offer warm fluids like lukewarm water or homemade soups (if over 6 months old). If the cough is persistent, worsening, or accompanied by fever, breathing difficulty, or wheezing, consult a pediatrician for proper treatment. Avoid giving honey if the baby is under one year old.
