Cough in small babies are due to viral infection and  Can happen due to bronchiolitis which is inflammation of small breathing tubes in lungs.. It may take time to go... say 3 weeks. No cough and cold medicines are effective in this age rather dangerous also. So avoid using it. . If breathing difficulty ,not feeding well or inactive seek medical attention..
