My 4mos old baby has a viral infection, coughing and having nasal drip.can i give her pedialite instead of milk to loosen up cough?

Yes: You can supplement fluids while she is sick with pedialyte. Keep a cool myst humidifier in her sleeping room, and use your blue-bulb suctioner (or mouth pipette) to help with her snot. See your pediatrician if fevers start in the next few days.
