Home Care:
1. Hydration: Ensure your baby stays well-hydrated. Offer small sips of water or oral rehydration solutions.
2. Steam Inhalation: Use a humidifier or take your baby into a steamy bathroom to help loosen mucus.
3. Nasal Saline Drops: These can help relieve nasal congestion, which may reduce coughing.
4. Upright Position: Hold your baby in an upright position after feeding to minimize the chances of vomiting.
Monitoring:
Cough Severity: Keep track of the cough and any associated symptoms, like fever or difficulty breathing.
Vomiting Frequency: If vomiting is frequent or accompanied by signs of dehydration (such as dry mouth, lethargy, or fewer wet diapers), consult a doctor.
When to Contact a Doctor:
If the cough worsens or does not improve after a few days.
If your baby shows signs of distress, difficulty breathing, or high fever.
If the vomiting continues despite home care.
Always consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and to rule out any underlying conditions.
