ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician4 years agoA. Mostly cough cold episodes 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 3-4 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 episodes
Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age, will help for fast recovery.
If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty
Then need to consult with nearest pediatrician once.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 years agoA. Treating the cold at home
Give plenty of liquids, including breast milk or formula (if your baby doesn't take breast milk). A small amount of water may be offered to your baby if they're over 6 months old. Suction out nasal mucus using saline drops and a suction bulb. Moisturize the air with a humidifier.
