my daughter is 8 month old having cold(runy nose)and dry cough.

A. Give saline nasal drops. Continue with breast milk as before. Mix a little turmeric with warm water and make a smooth paste, and apply this mixture on your baby's chest, forehead and the soles of his feet. Wash it away after some time. Or warm a cup of mustard oil and with 2 cloves of garlic and a few kalonji seeds. Massage this infused oil onto your baby's chest, back, feet and palms. Indirect steam also helps.
