A. For a 3-month-old baby with cold and cough, home remedies should be gentle and safe since their immune system is still developing. Here are some effective and safe remedies: Home Remedies for Cold & Cough Saline Drops & Suction – Use saline nasal drops to loosen mucus, followed by a bulb syringe to clear the nose. Steam Therapy – Sit with your baby in a steamy bathroom (run hot water in the shower) for 10-15 minutes to help clear congestion. Elevate the Head – Slightly raise the baby’s head while sleeping by placing a towel under the mattress (never directly under the baby). Breastfeeding or Formula – Frequent feeding helps keep the baby hydrated and boosts immunity. Gentle Chest Massage – Rub warm mustard oil with garlic (slightly warmed, then cooled) on the baby’s chest, back, and feet before bedtime. Use a Humidifier – A cool mist humidifier in the room prevents dryness and soothes the throat. Things to Avoid: ❌ No honey (unsafe for babies under 1 year) ❌ No vapor rubs containing camphor or menthol ❌ No over-the-counter cough syrups When to See a Doctor: High fever (100.4°F or higher) Severe cough or wheezing Difficulty breathing or refusal to feed Cold lasting more than 10 days If symptoms persist or worsen, consult a pediatrician for proper guidance.
