POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. For a baby suffering from severe cough and cold, it's important to consult your pediatrician before giving any medication, as young children have sensitive systems. Generally, for babies under 6 months, breastfeeding or formula provides hydration and nourishment. For relief from congestion, you can use saline nasal drops and a nasal aspirator to clear the baby's nose. You may also use a humidifier in the room to keep the air moist. If the baby is older than 6 months, you can try giving small amounts of warm water or honey (only for babies over 1 year) to soothe the throat. However, it's essential to monitor your baby's symptoms and seek medical help if the cough persists, worsens, or if you notice any signs of distress, such as trouble breathing or high fever.
