Q: hi my 2months old son have a flu, he is coughing and have blocked nose what can i do or give to my son?

: This does not sound like true influenza but most people refer to these type of symptoms as the "flu". Two month old infants should rarely need medication for these symptoms. Start with saline nasal drops and a bulb syringe to suck out the mucous.
