10 months baby with cough and phlegm
Baby is having a cough and phlegm for the past 3 days, we are giving a nebulizer daily 3 times and giving syrup as advised by the doctor.
Problem is he is not having anything, if we try to feed him forcefully, he is spitting out. He is having hardly 50ml formula milk 3 times a day. Please advise what can be done in this case.
Also please suggest food options which can be soothing.
