Coughing occasionally is not a problem. You can put saline (1 Drops) in each nostril and clean the nose every 4 hrly if nose block or noisy breathing.
Next Steps
If baby is active and feeding well nothing to worry.
Health Tips
If baby is breathing fast/ cough disturbing sleep and feeding, please meet a nearby paediatrician.
