POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. For a 5-month-old baby, it's not recommended to give over-the-counter cough syrups unless prescribed by a pediatrician. At this age, most medications can be harmful or not safe due to the baby's immature liver and kidney function.
Here’s what you can do safely: Breastfeed frequently to keep your baby hydrated. Use saline nasal drops if the baby has nasal congestion. Use a bulb syringe to clear mucus. Elevate the head slightly while sleeping (under pediatric guidance). Use a humidifier in the baby’s room to ease breathing. When to see a doctor: Cough lasts more than a few days. Baby has fever, difficulty breathing, wheezing, or feeding issues. Cough sounds like a barking or whooping sound. Baby is unusually sleepy or irritable
