A. Cough in a child could be allergic , infective or due to some other cause like GERD so it needs proper evaluation before giving any medication . Primarily you can give steam inhalation to the child for the improvement before consulting your doctor. any home remedies are of limited help in this if it is infection, mild or severe,it requires proper treatment.Baby immunity and growth can be taken care of by giving a proper balanced diet with all the nutrition required for proper growth of the child . vitamin C, zinc, iron and vitamin D has key role in this. Multivitamin syrup like syp full 365 can be given 5 ml twice a day for 1 to 2 months. boosting the immunity along with following all the safety precautions will help in protecting the child from the infections.
