I understand your concerns. Occasional Hiccups is normal for an infant. I advice to start on solids after 6 months as per Iap recommendations. Water isn’t required when baby is feeding adequately. If cough is persistent , baby needs to be examined.

At 5 months, you can give him water which is boiled for 10mins and than cooled. You can give water with spoon and vati.
