#asktheexpert my daughter is having cold and cough with mucus inner.... which drops can be given...

A. For a 7-month-old baby with cold, cough, and mucus, it's essential to be cautious with medication. You can use saline nasal drops to help clear the mucus and make breathing easier. A humidifier in the room can also help with congestion. If the cough persists or worsens, consult your pediatrician for appropriate recommendations, as over-the-counter cold or cough medicines are generally not safe for babies this age. Your doctor may suggest baby-safe cough syrups or prescribed treatments based on the severity of symptoms. Always follow the pediatrician's advice for safe treatment.
