A. I'm sorry to hear that your 21-month-old son has a cough. Here are some general steps you can take to help him feel better: Keep him hydrated: Make sure your son is drinking plenty of fluids, such as water, breast milk, or formula, to help soothe his throat and keep him hydrated. Use a humidifier: A humidifier in his room can help keep the air moist, which may ease the coughing and soothe his throat. Saline nasal drops: If the cough is due to congestion, saline drops can help clear his nasal passages. Gently use a nasal aspirator if necessary to remove mucus. Honey (if age-appropriate): Since your son is over 1 year old, you can try giving him a teaspoon of honey before bedtime. Honey can help soothe the throat and may reduce coughing. Elevate his head while sleeping: Raising the head of the bed slightly can help him breathe more easily and reduce coughing at night. Monitor for any red flags: Keep an eye out for any signs of worsening, such as difficulty breathing, a high fever, or coughing that lasts for more than a week. If he seems to be struggling with breathing, it's important to seek medical help immediately. Avoid irritants: Keep him away from smoke, strong smells, or any other environmental irritants that might make his cough worse. If your child’s cough persists for more than a few days or if you notice any concerning symptoms, it’s best to consult your pediatrician. The doctor can assess the cause of the cough and may suggest further treatment if necessary.
