A. Dry cough in babies can be uncomfortable, but there are some safe home remedies you can try: 1. Keep Baby Hydrated Breastfeeding/Formula: If your baby is under 6 months, continue breastfeeding or formula feeding frequently. Warm Water (For 6+ Months): Give small sips of warm water to soothe the throat. 2. Honey (For 1+ Year Olds) 1 tsp warm honey before bedtime can help soothe the throat and reduce coughing. (Do not give honey to babies under 1 year due to the risk of botulism.) 3. Steam Therapy Run a hot shower and let your baby breathe in the steam for a few minutes. This helps loosen mucus and ease dry cough. A humidifier in the room can prevent dry air from irritating the throat. 4. Saline Drops & Nasal Suction If the cough is due to nasal congestion, use saline drops and a suction bulb to clear the nose. 5. Turmeric & Warm Liquids (For 8+ Months) Turmeric milk (a pinch of turmeric in warm milk) can help soothe the throat. Warm soups like dal soup or vegetable broth can provide relief. 6. Elevate Baby’s Head While Sleeping Slightly elevate your baby's head using a towel under the mattress to help with postnasal drip and reduce nighttime coughing. When to See a Doctor? Fever (100.4°F or higher) Wheezing or breathing difficulty Cough lasting more than a week Baby refusing to eat or drink Let me know if your baby has any other symptoms so I can suggest better remedies!
