POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. For a 1-year, 8-month-old baby suffering from cold and cough, focus on keeping them comfortable and hydrated. Offer plenty of fluids such as warm water, soups, or breast milk/formula if applicable. Use saline nasal drops to relieve nasal congestion and a bulb syringe to gently clear mucus. A humidifier or steam inhalation can help keep the airways moist, easing breathing. Dress your baby warmly but avoid overheating. If they have a fever or seem uncomfortable, consult a pediatrician for age-appropriate medications like paracetamol. Avoid over-the-counter cough syrups unless prescribed by the doctor. Monitor for signs of worsening, such as high fever, difficulty breathing, or refusal to eat or drink, and seek medical attention if they occur.
