Take to doctor: How long has child been coughing? If more than a week, might be time to take to pediatrician to make sure it is not a lung infection. most coughs are caused by viral infections and if only lasting a few days, not much to do. Unfortunately there is nothing to give a baby this young for cough. You can try filing a bathroom with steam and sitting with baby in bathroom.
