Answer

hello... better avoid medicine n try home remedies..Give plenty of liquids, including breast milk, formula (if your baby doesn't take breast milk), and warm water( if over 6 month)...elevate your baby's head to help ease breathing. ...suction out nasal mucus using saline drops and a suction bulb..which are generally prescribed by doctors..moisturize the air with a humidifier....also Ajwain bhap or dhua works very well...roast some ajwain put in small cloth make a potli n massage baby with that...as in put on baby's chest...n back..Warm drinks like soups make excellent cough remedies for kids because they thin out mucus, making it easier to cough up. Plus, liquids soothe a raw throat and keep your little one hydrated. Have your child drink vegetable soup or chicken soup...it helps..( for older kids)
