any cough most of the time either it could be allergic or infective which needs proper evaluation. initially you can start by  giving steam inhalation to your baby which will help in relieving symptoms to sjome extent and will make the baby comfortable.for small baby should be given indirectly from a distance.cough suppressants are usually avoided in children,it needs to be examined first before giving any kind of medicine. so it will be better if he you consult your doctor for proper guidance along with proper dosage for the kind of problem.

Hi mom
Continue with the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Apply warm coconut oil infused with tulsi leaves on the chest and throat of the baby before sleeping. This will help to get relief from dry cough
