POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. Frequent colds in a 2-month-old baby are common because their immune system is still developing. If you have given Max Strength (assuming it’s prescribed by a doctor), but the cold is still frequent, here’s what you can do to help:
Home Remedies & Care Tips:
✔ Breastfeeding (if possible) – Breast milk provides natural immunity to fight infections.
✔ Nasal Saline Drops – Use saline drops to clear nasal congestion and help with breathing.
✔ Steam Therapy – Sit with the baby in a steamy bathroom (not too hot) for 5–10 minutes to loosen mucus.
✔ Keep the Air Moist – Use a humidifier in the room to prevent dryness that worsens congestion.
✔ Elevate Baby’s Head Slightly – While holding the baby, keep the head slightly elevated to ease breathing.
✔ Limit Exposure to Cold & Infections – Avoid sudden temperature changes and keep her away from sick people.
✔ Dress Comfortably – Avoid overdressing; keep the baby warm but not overheated.
When to See a Doctor:
➡ If the baby has fever above 100.4°F (38°C)
➡ If there’s fast breathing, wheezing, or chest retractions
➡ If the baby refuses to feed or looks very weak
➡ If the cold lasts more than 10 days
Since your baby is only 2 months old, it’s important to monitor her closely. If the cold is coming back very frequently, discuss with the doctor whether she might have allergies or another underlying issue. Let me know if you notice any other symptoms!
