What should i give a baby when having a dry cough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No cough medicine: Cough medicines are not very effective in babies and can be harmful and better be avoided, if the cough is bad and is assciated with fever and wheezing etc, than have the baby examined by the pediatrician.
