A. Cough in a child could be allergic , infective or due to some other cause like GERD so it needs proper evaluation before giving any medication . as a first line of treatment,you can give steam inhalation to the child for tmhe improvement before consulting your doctor. any home remedies are of limited help in this. if it is infection, mild or severe,it requires proper treatment under medical guidance.self medication is not advised.

A. Yes tey indirect steaming. just that u need to block any gap that may be there in your bathroom and then turn on hot water. Get a towel and wrap it around your head. Let your baby sit in your lap and spend 15 minutes in the bathroom inhaling the steam. You may consider giving a gentle massage to soothe your baby.
