A. For a 7-month-old baby with cold and cough, you can try these safe home remedies: 1. Keep the Baby Hydrated ✅ Breastfeeding or formula – Frequent feeding helps loosen mucus. ✅ Warm water sips – If the baby is on solids, small amounts of lukewarm water can help. 2. Nasal Congestion Relief ✅ Saline Drops – Put 1-2 drops of saline nasal spray in each nostril and then gently suction with a bulb syringe. ✅ Steam Therapy – Sit in a steam-filled bathroom with the baby for 5-10 minutes to relieve congestion. ✅ Elevate the Head – Slightly raise the baby's head while sleeping to ease breathing. 3. Warm Natural Remedies ✅ Ajwain Potli – Heat some ajwain (carom seeds) in a dry pan, tie in a cloth, and gently rub near the baby’s chest (not directly on the skin). ✅ Mustard Oil Massage – Warm mustard oil with garlic, strain it, and massage the baby’s chest, back, and feet before bedtime. ✅ Tulsi & Ginger Water – If your baby is on solids, give a few spoons of lukewarm tulsi-ginger-infused water. 4. Humidifier or Fresh Air ✅ Use a humidifier or keep a bowl of water near the bed to add moisture to the air. ✅ Ensure good ventilation and avoid direct fan/AC air. When to See a Doctor? ⚠️ High fever above 100.4°F (38°C) ⚠️ Fast or difficult breathing, wheezing ⚠️ Baby refusing to feed or looking very weak ⚠️ Cold lasting more than 10 days Let me know if you need more guidance! Hope your baby feels better soon.
