1. Don’t worry. Since the weather is changing, this can happen 2. Put nasal saline drops in each nostril before each feed. 3. During cough, tilt the baby to a side so that the baby dont aspirate its own saliva. 4. If fever, you can give paracetamol drops. 5. If anyone sick at home and has cough and cold, keep them away from the baby. 6. Don’t give any home remedies or any other cough medicines from chemist.

Greetings For an infant this young, you must avoid over-the-counter cough and cold medicines as they can cause serious or life-threatening side effects. Instead, focus on safe home supportive care by using saline nasal drops to help clear out thick mucus from the nasal passages. Additionally, you can run a cool-mist humidifier in the baby's room or hold the infant upright to help ease breathing during congestion. Ensuring the baby stays well-hydrated with regular, frequent breast milk or formula feedings is also essential for their recovery.
