Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. Cough along with Cold most of the time is a viral illness and it needs supportive care along with proper hydration. you can give steam inhalation which is very useful .
cough needs to be treated with anti allergic and etxpectorant bronchodilators or antitussives medyicine which should be given only after a proper evaluation by the doctor according to the type of cough.
if fever is there paracetamol can be given to reduce the fever and the dose can be repeated after 6 hours again if required .

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children2 years agoA. The dosage and frequency of any medication depends on the baby's weight age and severity of the illness. So it's better to get the child examined by ur pediatrician and get the right medication prescribed. As a home remedy, For cough, while boiling water at the end add some jeera or cumin seeds. Give this water two or three spoons instead of water. Take a cup of water with well cleaned tulsi leaves in it. Boil this mixture until the water us reduced to half. Then once the water is lukewarm u can filter it and give few spoons to the baby. But this water may be bit spicy so take appropriate care while feeding it to the baby.
