A. For a 10-month-old baby with cold and cough, it's important to use medications that are safe for infants. Avoid over-the-counter cough and cold syrups that are not specifically formulated for babies. Here are a few recommendations: Saline Nasal Drops/Spray: To help clear nasal congestion, you can use saline nasal drops or a saline spray. This helps to relieve stuffiness and makes it easier for the baby to breathe. Honey (for babies over 1 year): If your baby is over 1 year old, you can give a small amount of honey mixed with warm water, which is soothing for the throat and helps with cough. Chest Rub (for babies over 3 months): A baby-friendly chest rub like Vicks BabyRub can be used to gently rub on the chest or back to ease congestion and coughing. Paracetamol (for fever or discomfort): If your baby has a fever or discomfort due to the cold, a baby-safe dose of paracetamol (under your pediatrician’s guidance) can help. Infant Cough Syrups (prescribed by doctor): Some pediatricians may recommend infant-specific cough syrups. Always consult with your doctor before administering any medicine. It’s important to consult with your pediatrician before giving any medicine, especially for a baby this young, to ensure it's safe and appropriate for their age and condition.
