A. Mostly  cough cold episodes are viral in origin.   They may subside by 3 -9 days  No need of any medication if mild.   If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).  And cough syrp or drops as per babys  Cough condition  (wet or dry).  Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold  episodes  Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age, will help for fast recovery.    If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty  Then need to consult with nearest pediatrician once.  rq

A. your baby is small and don't risk with medication, I suggest It's good to show your kid to your doctor and follow his advise. That would be the best and safest option for your littl one. feed your baby frequently every few hours that is the best and fastest way to cure soon. You can add tulsi leaves to warm coconut oil and apply to baby's chest sole and back. Keep baby warm.
