Sir cough sometimes persists for about a week to 10 days.If your baby is feeding well and has no fever don't do anything.It well settle down on its own.
For vaccine wait for about 1 week for vaccination.
In case fever is persisting and cough is severe and hampering feeding do visit your pediatrician.

Try nebulisation...if baby is feeding well n active, probably viral infection...antibiotics no use...it may harm also by killing the gut flora (good bacteria)...give frequent breastfeeding n keep the baby warm..get pediatrician help sos
