A. Most of the time cough cold, are viral in origin They may subside by 3 -9 days No need of any medication if mild. If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3 times a day for 3 days). And cough syrp or drops as per babys Cough condition (wet or dry). Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold episode Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age. It will help. If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty Then need consultation with nearest pediatrician.

A. If the doctor has advised can go ahead as he must have advised after examination and analysis. Light massage of mustard oil or coconut oil will help your baby to get relief from cough. Do massage on chest & back of your baby. Roast 2–3 big cloves of garlic & few pinches of Ajwain on tawa for just one minute. You will be able to smell powerful fumes. Let the mixture cool down and keep near your child. The smell of mixture will heal the cold & cough of your child. You can also bind the mixture in pouch for better handling. Warm up coconut oil and add tulsi leaves. Apply this oil on chest of your baby before sleep. You can also do hair massage with same oil . It will give relief from cold and cough
