POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 3-month-old baby with cold and cough, it's important to be cautious with medications, as many are not safe for such young infants. Here are some general suggestions:
1. Saline Nasal Drops: These can help clear nasal congestion and make it easier for your baby to breathe. You can use them as per the instructions on the packaging.
2. Steam Inhalation: You can create a steam environment in the bathroom by running a hot shower, allowing the steam to help loosen mucus in the baby's chest and nose. Do not put the baby directly in the steam but allow them to breathe the vapor in a safe environment.
3. Warm Fluids: If your baby is breastfeeding, continue offering breast milk, as it provides hydration and immune support. If bottle-feeding, ensure the baby is drinking enough fluids.
4. Elevate the Baby's Head: While sleeping, try to keep your baby’s head slightly elevated to help with congestion, but make sure it's safe to do so.
You should avoid giving over-the-counter cough or cold medicines unless specifically prescribed by your doctor. Always consult a pediatrician before giving any medication to a baby this young, as some medicines may not be suitable or safe for infants.
