Question

Accepted Answer

Hi dear good afternoon Keep baby hydrated. Feed every few hours that is the best way to cure soon. Also add tulsi leaves to warm coconut oil and apply to baby's chest sole and back. Keep baby warm. Home remedies are good but it would take a longer time to recover. Babies cant bear for a long time. It's better to check with doctor once and you can treat with medicines and home remedies parallel.

Answer

the baby is only for months of age it is not to do self medication to the baby for one or two days only if it is persistent cough and cold you have to consult a doctor

Answer

it is very important that whenever you are giving any medicine after medical consultation you have to give for three days and if it is not improving the condition then again meet your doctor
kindly give nasal saline drops every three hourly and since it is a salt water it does not have any side effects and can be given again and again for nasal blockage and try to prevent temperature variations on the child and you can also give indirect steam inhalation and if there is no improvement in 2 or 3 days then meet your doctor
