cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and expectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medicine which should be used once a proper evaluation by the doctor is done and according to the type of cough its prescribed.
if any fever is there paracetamol can be given to redxuce the temperature and the dose can be repeated avgain after 6 hours if required .

Apply this mixture to the baby’s chest, throat, back and feet soles gently twice a day. Give warm water and warm freshly prepared homemade foods. Continue breastfeeding. Regularly massage your baby with Babyhug daily massage oil. Speak to your doctor for further advice
