Hello dear parent! Try giving indirect steam inhalation to reduce the discomfort, add eucalyptus oil to the boiling water for better relief. Warm up coconut oil with crushed camphor. Apply this mixture to your baby’s chest, throat, back and feet soles gently twice a day. Give warm water and warm freshly prepared homemade foods like vegetable soups or khichadi
