POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. For a 5-month-old baby with cold and cough, it's important to manage the symptoms carefully. Here are some suggestions to help your baby feel better:
1. Keep the baby hydrated: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding, as it will help keep your baby hydrated and soothe the throat.
2. Saline drops: Use saline nasal drops or spray to help clear nasal congestion. These are gentle and safe for young babies.
3. Steam: You can run a warm shower and sit with your baby in the bathroom for 10-15 minutes. The steam will help loosen any mucus in the nose and chest.
4. Elevate the head: When your baby sleeps, try slightly elevating the head of the crib or bassinet. This can help with easier breathing during the night.
5. Keep the air clean: Use a humidifier in the room to add moisture to the air, especially if the air is dry.
6. Avoid harsh medications: At 5 months old, over-the-counter cough and cold medications are not recommended without consulting a doctor.
7. Monitor for fever: If your baby develops a fever, you may need to give baby-safe fever reducers like paracetamol (under doctor's guidance).
If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if you notice any difficulty breathing, wheezing, or a fever lasting more than 24 hours, consult a pediatrician promptly.
