Most of the time cough cold, are viral in origin
They may subside by 3 -9 days
No need of any medication if mild.
If cough and cold then need steam inhalation, nasal decongestant drops (nasivion baby nasal drops 1drop in each nostril 3 times a day for 3 days).
And cough syrp or drops as per babys
Cough condition (wet or dry).
Keep ur baby well hydrated in cough cold episode
Proper hand washing, keeping away ur baby from other infected persons.
It will help.
If decreased urine output, refusal to feed, decreased activity, breathing difficulty
Then need consultation with nearest pediatrician.
