Cough remedies: Most medications and herbs are not appropriate for infants. Increasing humidity and keeping your baby well hydrated may lessen the symptoms and to support her body as it heals itself. Prolonged symptoms of cough and congestion should be evaluated by your pediatrician and may require treatment.
