Coughs in babies can be due to mild infections or throat irritation and often settle with time. Cough syrups should not be given on their own, as their safety depends on the baby's age and condition. Keep the baby comfortable, well-fed and in a clean environment. Avoid exposure to cold air or dust that may worsen the cough. Consult your doctor to choose a safe and suitable option.
