Babies are more prone  to infections as their immune system is not adequately developed to fight virus and bacteria. In order to avoid catching infection, develop good hygiene habits like frequent hand washing, frequent disinfection of toys, washing hands before taking food, regular brushing of teeth.  Give your child  proper diet. As far as baby is healthy and weighs adequately, there is no need of any medicine.
