A. Cough along with Cold and fever most of the time is a viral illness or allergic and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration needs to be maintained. you can give steam inhalation which may be useful . cough needs to be treated with medicine like anti allergic expectorant bronchodilators antitussives or cough suppresents medicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough and need. In severe cough nebulisation can be given where medicine directly gets dilivered in the respiratory tract. Also if ffever is thegre paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose is 15 mg/ kg body weight and can be repeated after 6 hours again if reyquired . Home remedies like Tulsi & ginger mix in honey can be tried for soothing.

A. Hello dear parent! Try giving indirect steam inhalation. Keep Babyhug cold rub handy for your baby. Maintain a good personal hygiene and make your baby wear comfortable clothing. Continue with exclusively breastfeeding. Good luck and take care
