Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your infant has a cold and cough which seems to be due to viral infection and could be common flu due to poor immunity.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you visit pediatrician once and get it examined completely and start treatment after proper examination. It generally due to an allergic component which can be relieved by the use of antiallergics like syrup Relent once daily for a few days. Till then take the proper course of antibiotics and go for mild steam inhalation, which will be very helpful. Give your baby diet that will improve immunity.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
