A. Hi, If baby is cranky then you should go for medication. If baby is feeding well then you can try home remedies like applying VCS baby rub on chest and feet of the baby. Also give indirect steam by adding little VCS baby rub in it. Also Put saline solution like nasoclear in both the nostrils if they are blocked due to cold.
