POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. For a 5-month-old baby with a cough, ensure your baby stays hydrated with frequent breastfeeding or formula feeding. Use saline drops and a nasal aspirator if there’s mucus congestion. Running a humidifier in the room or giving gentle steam therapy (sitting in a steamy bathroom) can help ease the cough. Keep your baby’s head slightly elevated while sleeping. Avoid exposing your baby to cold air, smoke, or strong fragrances. If the cough lasts more than a week, worsens, or is accompanied by fever, wheezing, difficulty breathing, or refusal to feed, see a pediatrician immediately. Do not give over-the-counter cough medicines without medical advice.
