A. For a 44-day-old baby with a severe cough, it's essential to act carefully. Here are some general steps you can take: 1. Consult a Pediatrician: Since your baby is very young, it's important to consult a doctor immediately to rule out any serious issues and get appropriate treatment. 2. Humidity Control: Use a cool-mist humidifier in the baby's room to help keep the air moist, which may soothe the baby's cough. 3. Elevate Baby's Head: You can slightly elevate the baby's head during sleep to help reduce coughing, but ensure the baby is still lying flat on the back. 4. Nasal Saline Drops: If the cough is accompanied by a blocked nose, using saline drops (as recommended by a pediatrician) can help clear nasal passages. 5. Keep the Baby Hydrated: Ensure the baby is drinking enough milk, as hydration is important for recovery. 6. Avoid Irritants: Keep the baby away from smoke, strong smells, and dust that could worsen the cough. Since the baby is very young, a pediatrician's visit is crucial to ensure the right diagnosis and treatment.
