A. It's important to avoid giving over-the-counter cough syrups to babies under 1 year old unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. Most cough medications are not recommended for infants due to potential risks and side effects. For a 7-month-old baby with a cough, consider these safer alternatives: 1. Saline Nasal Drops: These can help clear nasal congestion that may cause coughing. 2. Humidifier: Use a cool-mist humidifier in your baby's room to add moisture to the air and soothe the throat. 3. Elevate the Head: Slightly elevating your baby's head during sleep may help reduce coughing caused by post-nasal drip. 4. Breastfeeding or Formula: Continue breastfeeding or formula feeding, as hydration is important for keeping the throat moist. Always consult your pediatrician before giving any medication, even natural remedies, to a baby. If your baby's cough persists, gets worse, or is accompanied by fever, difficulty breathing, or wheezing, it’s important to seek medical attention.
