ExpertDr. Pandurang sawantPaediatrician4 years agoA. Mostly cough cold episodes are viral in origin.
They may subside by 3 -9 days
No need of any medication if mild.
If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3-4 times a day for 3 days).
And cough syrp or drops as per babys
Cough condition (wet or dry).
Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold episodes
Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons, exclusive breast feeding ur baby till 6months of the age, will help for fast recovery.
If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty
Then need to consult with nearest pediatrician once.

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl4 years agoA. Hello ma’am Since you’re lactating and your child is too small I want to simply advise that both of you need to consult a doctor and then go for a medication because electrician mother also need to have a medicine which is not going to affect the child and your child is too small for any home remedy so it would be best to consult a doctor only
