A. For a 13-month-old with a cough and cold, it's essential to consult your pediatrician before giving any medications, as many over-the-counter cough and cold medicines are not recommended for young children. Instead, your doctor can provide guidance on appropriate treatment options based on your child's specific symptoms and overall health. In the meantime, you can use some home remedies to help alleviate his symptoms. Ensure he stays well-hydrated by offering plenty of fluids, such as water, diluted juice, or breast milk/formula. Using a cool-mist humidifier in his room can help relieve nasal congestion and soothe coughs. Saline nasal drops can also be used to help clear mucus from his nose. If his symptoms are persistent or if you notice any concerning signs such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or unusual lethargy, seek medical attention promptly. Always follow your pediatrician's recommendations for treating your child's cough and cold to ensure safe and effective care.
