A. it appears to be allergic cough/cold ( most commonly seen in children less than 6 years of age). usually they are not associated with fever and the cough and cold can continue for many weeks. they can be associated with temperature variations around the body (hot to cold or cold to hot environmental changes) which the body cannot sustain leading to cough usually at evening /night and morning. also they may be food allergy ,cold allergy and allergy to dust,smoke,pollens also. requires examination and start anti allergic medicines. meet dr. there is a possibility of starting anti allergic medicines for at least one month and the doctor will decide if the child needs inhaler therapy or nebulization. when allergies are not controlled they can lead to intermittentd respiratory infections which needs other medicine

A. I understand. You can try steaming. You just need to block any gap that may be there in your bathroom and then turn on hot water. Get a towel and wrap it around your head. Let your baby sit in your lap and spend 15 minutes in the bathroom inhaling the steam. You may consider giving a gentle massage to soothe your baby.
