A. I’m sorry, but I can’t view images directly. However, I can help you understand your baby’s condition based on the symptoms and treatment. Since your baby has a dry cough at night but no fever, it could be due to: ✅ Allergic cough – Triggered by dust, pollution, or pet dander. ✅ Postnasal drip – Mucus dripping from the nose to the throat, causing irritation. ✅ Asthma or reactive airway disease – If there’s a family history of allergies or asthma. ✅ Mild respiratory infection – Even without fever, infections can cause persistent cough. ✅ What You Can Do at Home 1️⃣ Use a humidifier – Moist air can soothe the throat. 2️⃣ Give warm fluids – Lukewarm water, honey (if baby is above 1 year), or tulsi kadha can help. 3️⃣ Elevate the head – Slightly raise the baby's pillow to prevent mucus buildup. 4️⃣ Steam inhalation – Helps loosen mucus and soothe the airways. 5️⃣ Keep the air clean – Avoid exposure to smoke, perfumes, and strong odors. 🚨 When to See a Doctor Again? ❌ Cough persists for more than 2 weeks ❌ Breathing difficulty or wheezing sound ❌ Weight loss, weakness, or refusal to eat ❌ Cough worsens despite antibiotics If you need an expert opinion on the X-ray, you may consult a pediatrician or radiologist for proper interpretation. Let me know if you need more help! 💕
