Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Excessive coughing most often is indicative of respiratory infection. Considering the age of the baby instead of online advise, please see a good pediatrician early.

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

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar
