16 weeks baby has occasional cough. coughs 6 to 7 times daily. should i contact pediatrician? ? is there any home remedy to decrease cough?

No home remedy.: If it's not a volitional " fake cough", which develops along with a "bronx cheer" ("raspberry") at 4 months, there is a medical cause that requires evaluation by her pediatrician.

Cough = reflux?: Cough in a baby can be a viral upper respiratory infection or "cold, " but it also might be reflux or another non-infectious condition. Best to consult your doctor to make sure it seems like an innocent condition and not more serious. Home remedies include saline squirted in the baby's nose, a suction bulb to remove mucus, and a humidifier to help him breathe. Meds might be harmful - don't use.
