POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. A dry cough in a 6-month-old baby can be distressing. Here are some gentle Indian home remedies that may provide relief:
1. **Turmeric Milk:** Warm milk with a pinch of turmeric can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing.
2. **Ajwain (Carom Seeds) Pouch:** Warm ajwain seeds in a cloth pouch and place it near the baby's sleeping area to ease congestion.
3. **Steam Inhalation:** Create a steamy environment in the bathroom by running a hot shower and sit with your baby in the steamy room to relieve congestion.
4. **Nasal Saline Drops:** Use saline nasal drops to clear nasal passages and reduce postnasal drip.
5. **Elevate the Head:** Slightly elevate your baby's head while they sleep to help with breathing.
6. **Honey and Ginger:** A mixture of honey and a small amount of ginger juice (for babies over 6 months) can help with cough and throat irritation.
Always consult with your pediatrician before trying any home remedies for a baby as young as 6 months to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your child's specific condition. If the cough persists or worsens, seek medical advice.
