A. hi dear It could be due to post-nasal drip from the back of your child's throat. Use saline nasal drops. You can buy these over-the-counter nasal drops at a pharmacy. ... Offer fluids. ... Offer honey. ... Elevate your child's head when sleeping. ... Add moisture with a humidifier. ... Talk a walk in cold air. ... Apply vapor rub. ... Use essential oils.

Q. #asktheexperts Hlo doctor, my baby is just 1 month and 23 days today. I was tested COVID positive on 16 jan, and same day my baby was tested negative. Doctors are saying that if he was having breast feeding then he will also be positive. I am worried about his immunity. Today 9 days are passed and I didn’t notice any symptoms in my baby. Pls suggest me whether I should get him tested again or not ? And what other precautions I should take ?
