A. For a 1.6-year-old baby with severe cough and cold, it's important to manage the symptoms carefully. Here are some suggestions: Home Care: 1. Steam Inhalation: Use a steam vaporizer in the room to loosen mucus. 2. Saline Nasal Drops: Safe to use for clearing a blocked nose. 3. Hydration: Ensure the baby is drinking plenty of fluids (water, soup, or warm liquids if already introduced). Breast milk or formula can also help. 4. Elevate the Head: Slightly raise the head while the baby sleeps to ease breathing. 5. Honey (only if the baby is above 1 year): Give a teaspoon of warm honey to soothe the throat. 6. Avoid Cold Exposure: Keep the baby warm and away from cold drafts. When to See a Doctor: Persistent high fever (above 100.4°F or 38°C). Difficulty breathing or rapid breathing. Wheezing or noisy breathing. Refusal to eat or drink. Symptoms lasting more than a week or worsening. A pediatrician may recommend: Paracetamol/Ibuprofen for fever (dose as per baby's weight). Cough syrups or medications suitable for their age. Nebulization if breathing issues persist. Let me know if you need guidance on medications or further care!
