A member asked:
My 4 mo old baby has been contested for 3 months coughing for 2-1/2 wks. albuterol&pulmicott not helping neither are anything else like saline drops?

Diet: Is mom breastfeeding? If so is she eating any dairy (milk cheese, yogurt?) if not breast feeding is the baby on a cow milk based formula? Eliminating dairy is the first recommendation as it will improve congestion within a week if it is the cause. Is the baby in daycare as that can also be contributing with one slight cold after another.
