A. yes that is fine at this age you can go for limited number of home remedies. you can give tulsi and ginger juice diluted with water 3 times per day. you can apply baby vicks if the child is not allergic to it. boiling water with carom seeds (ajwain) and tulsi leaves can help relieve coughing. it also helps in the relief of chest congestion. massages are most effective for children under two years of age. massage the baby's chest, back, and neck with mustard oil and garlic. cover the baby's palms and feet with the oil for immediate comfort. keep the child hydrated with water juice and milk. you can give turmeric with milk as well as water.

A. Hello dear parent! Get your baby personally examined by the doctor and seek further treatment. Keep Babyhug medicine dropper handy. Try giving indirect steam inhalation. Continue feeding your baby well on demand
