My 3 month old son is having cough
My 3 month old son has had a cough for one month, especially at night, it is severe and he feels difficulty in breathing. I have consulted a pediatrician and he suggested that it is happening from reflux and suggested some medicine but he is not recovering. It has been more than a month, it seems like he is chewing mucus in his mouth. Please suggest if there is any serious problem, I have done home remedies also but nothing works. I am very worried and he is facing difficulties every night and not able to sleep properly.

Make sure to make him burp after every meal that is once you feed him don't make him to lie down, instead put him on your shoulders and gently tap on his back for atleast 15-30 mins which will help in his digestion
Show him in early morning and evening sunlight so he'll gain his daily dose of vitamin D which will also help in improving his immunity and growth
I would advise you to breastfeed in sitting posture which again will help a lot in digestion
Other than this if you have any doubts or more information kindly consult with me on practo because I need more information to thoroughly analyze and help you

Since baby is 3 month old Do not use any cough syrups
Breastfeeds should be adequate (2 hourly)
After each breastfeed u need to see whether baby has been burped or not for proper digestion
Look for any restlessness
Paleness
Fever
If not resolved you should consult lively
