Cold and cough

2025-09-04 17:06:28
My baby is 6 month old. He is coughing little sometimes and nose is making ghar ghar sound. After putting nasal drop some secretion is coming like cough. But he is not getting problem in feeding and no fever. Little bit cranky but also plays when distracted. I don't understand it is cold and cough or its normal? and when to give medicine? Or when to go to clinic?

Nasal block is common in infants and they make sound from nose which is normal, saline nasal drops would help. If child is having rapid/fast breathing, decreased activity, any nasal flaring, not taking feed, fever then you have to consult a doctor
