How To Cure Cough In A 8 Months Old Naturally ?
what will be good to give a 8months for coughing has fling but not coming up
Sat, 2 Feb 2013
hi there
am dr.surendiran
nice to meet you in hcmagic
When your 8-month-old baby is coughing, you want nothing more than to make it stop and help her to feel better. Most coughing is due to a viral infection, which means that medicine won't solve the problem. You simply have to let it run its course. Infant cold medicines can be dangerous in a child who is only 6 months old, so you should only give them under the direction of your doctor.
some natural remedies,
Run a humidifier at night. A dry room can exacerbate any coughing problems that your baby may have. A cool-mist humidifier can help relieve his coughing problems. If you want, you can use a eucalyptus enhancer with the humidifier.
Feed your baby on demand. When fighting off a cold, babies need extra calories to help fight the infection. Don't try to stick to a usual feeding schedule. If your baby seems hungry, feed her.
Keep your baby as upright as possible. Lying down can make a coughing problem worse, as sinuses drain to the back of the throat.

Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
If you are having a dry cough for eight months without any expectoration and you have got yourself investigated for any cause like T.B. then you can try with a steroid inhaler or a puff- two puffs twice daily. Also, keep a piece of turmeric in your mouth every time there is a bout of coughing.
