A. problem applying on the clothes Cold and cough in the babies are because of viral infections which will take at least five to six days time to subside it is advisable to do steam inhalation frequently to liquefy the secretions as well put nasoclear saline drops in the nose of the baby

A. Hello dear parent! Try giving indirect steam inhalation to reduce the discomfort. Add eucalyptus oil to the boiling water for better relief. Continue breastfeeding your baby well on demand for better health, nutrition and hydration. Use nasoclear saline drops. Good luck and take care.
