Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cough along with Cold and fever most of the time is a viral illness or allergic and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration needs to be maintained. you can give steam inhalation which may be useful .
cough needs to be treated with medicine like anti allergic expectorant bronchodilators antitussives or cough suppresents medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough and need.
In severe cough nebulisation can be given where medicine directly gets dilivered in the respigiratory tract.
Also if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ fkg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .
Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 1 m old girl2 years agoA. hi
to avoid or prevent cold infection in baby , please give plenty of breastfeeds to your child
because breastmilk contains antibodies which help your child to fight against such infections.
dress your child in weather appropriate clothes
give sunlight atleast 20 minutes a day
