POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. 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.
