My 6mo baby caught a cold. he has a cough with flem and is congested. is there he can take, or anything i can give him?

Just Motrin 4 fever: Poor baby! This is a typical time for babies to start catching illnesses. The antibodies that they are born with from you (maternal antibody) is wearing off right now. If he get's a fever or seems to be in pain, hard to console, then try a dose of motrin for him. 10 mg/kilogram of body weight. I don't recommend ANY otc cold and cough meds, they don't work, and they have many side effects.
