I have a 7-month-old baby who has a cough and a cold. I gave Cetirizine syrup, but there is no relief. Which medicine or syrup is safe for my baby?
In a 7-month-old baby, cough and cold are usually due to a viral infection and may take a few days to improve. Avoid giving cough or cold medicines on your own, as they may not be safe at this age. Keep your baby well hydrated with regular feeds and use saline nasal drops to clear a blocked nose. If there is no improvement or symptoms worsen, consult a doctor for safe treatment.
