Dear I read your scenario. You should keep the baby warm. Should give him antibiotic like SYRUP CLARITHROMYCINE and antipyratics like Syrup Brofen. You should do ventoline neubolization of the baby. Avoid home remedies. Hope your baby get well soon. You can ask more questions regarding this issue otherwise you should go to near doctor. Thanks for asking.

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
You shouldnt give brandy to the baby. Salbutamol syrup can be given according to weight.If wheezing is there corticosteroids will be needed.It can be given as syrup or by inhalation.It is better to approach your doctor.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
