My 5 month old baby is coughing, w congested chest. wheezing. sudden onset..no fever yet, . what can i give to ease his discomfort?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Supportive care: Keep his room cool, run the humidifier, saline to the nose to clear mucus, frequent drinks. Did the baby choke? Is the baby having trouble breathing. Early care would be recommended if either is yes. No honey or cold medicine is recommended in this age group.
