1. Home Remedies for Cough & Fever
✔ Warm Fluids: Give warm water, soups, or herbal tea (for kids above 1 year).
✔ Honey & Tulsi (Above 1 Year): Mix 1 tsp honey with crushed tulsi leaves for relief.
✔ Steam Inhalation: Helps in clearing congestion (sit with baby in a steamy bathroom).
✔ Turmeric Milk: Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can soothe cough (above 1 year).
✔ Saline Drops for Nose Block: Use nasal saline drops if baby has a blocked nose.
✔ Keep Baby Hydrated: Offer coconut water, warm water, or fresh juices.
2. When to Give Medicine?
✔ Fever Above 100.4°F (38°C): Give paracetamol (Crocin/Pcmol) as per doctor’s advice.
✔ Severe Cough or Phlegm: Consult a doctor for cough syrup based on symptoms.
✔ Cold & Congestion: Give antihistamines only if prescribed by a doctor.
