Cough syrups are generally not recommended for infants under 2 years old due to safety concerns. Instead, supportive care is best for a 9-month-old with a cough.

🏥 Safe Care Tips for Your Baby's Cough

• Use a cool-mist humidifier in the room to ease breathing and soothe the throat.
• Keep your baby well-hydrated with breast milk or formula.
• Gently suction nasal mucus with a bulb syringe if congestion is present.
• Avoid honey for children under 1 year due to the risk of botulism.

⚠️ When to See a Doctor

• If your baby has difficulty breathing, persistent high fever, or worsening cough.
• If the cough lasts more than a week or is accompanied by wheezing or poor feeding.

🩺 Specialist Recommendation

Please consult a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and safe treatment options tailored to your baby's condition. They can guide you on appropriate remedies and rule out any serious causes.
