For a two-month-old baby, over-the-counter cough and cold medications are not safe and should not be used. Because she is so young, a severe cough requires a prompt evaluation by a pediatrician to ensure she is breathing comfortably. To help her feel better at home, you can use a cool-mist humidifier in her room to moisten the air and saline nasal drops with a bulb syringe to gently clear her nose. Keep feeding her breast milk or formula regularly to prevent dehydration. Please contact your pediatrician or visit a clinic today for a proper medical assessment.
