POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. If your 5-month-old baby has a cough, it's essential to consult your pediatrician before giving any medication, as babies at this age have specific needs and sensitivities. Generally, over-the-counter cough medicines are not recommended for infants under two years old due to potential side effects and safety concerns. Instead, focus on home remedies to provide relief. You can use a cool-mist humidifier in her room to keep the air moist, which can help soothe her throat and ease coughing. Make sure she stays well-hydrated by offering breast milk or formula, as fluids can help thin mucus. If her cough is accompanied by other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, wheezing, or a high fever, seek medical attention promptly. Always prioritize your baby’s safety, and when in doubt, reach out to your pediatrician for tailored advice and treatment options that are appropriate for her age and condition.
