For your baby, Ayurveda recommends mild, safe remedies. Use Dashmool decoction in very diluted form for steam inhalation to ease congestion (consult a pediatrician first). Massage the baby’s chest, back, and soles with warm mustard oil infused with garlic to reduce cold symptoms. Strengthen the lungs with Swarnaprashan (gold-based immunity drops) if suggested by a pediatric Ayurvedic expert.
Dietary Tips:
Ensure the baby is exclusively breastfed (or on recommended formula).
Avoid exposing the baby to cold drafts or allergens.
Precautions:
Enlarged thymus and affected lungs are serious conditions. Continue consulting a pediatrician and follow inhaler use as prescribed.
Avoid self-administering Ayurvedic remedies; work under expert guidance to avoid side effects.
Close monitoring and a combined approach of Ayurveda and conventional medicine are essential.

It sounds like your little one is having a tough time dealing with respiratory issues. At 4 months old, it's understandable to be worried about a have something like this. So, I can't stress enough how important it is to follow up with your pediatrician or a specialist, especially since he's got an inhale and the thymus enlargement. These can be serious and needs close medical supervision.
That being said, Ayurveda can sometimes offer supportive care along with regular treatments. Be sure anything you try doesn’t interfere with what's already been prescribed by the doctors, right?
Little babies have their own unique balance, but keeping things simple is often key. You might want to watch out for anything that's irritating him – all kinds of synthetic fragrances or cleaners can be a bother. Opt for natural cleaning products in your home if you can, and keep things dust-free as much as possible.
Now, when it comes to ayurvedic perspectives, warm breastmilk is best. It’s tridoshic and agrees with most constitutions. It helps boost immunity and provides warmth and nutrients. If he’s nursing, you might consider your own diet too, as it affects him through your milk. Focusing on warm, cooked foods, staying away from cold, heavy, and excessively oily foods might be helpful.
Could you possibly gently massage with warm sesame oil? It has been said to nourish and strengthen baby tissues, though make sure to only do a small patch test first. Ensure the room is warm and comfortable too, it can be calming and relax the muscles.
Also, if there's any congestion, try keeping his head slightly elevated while he sleeps to help him breathe easier. And always ensure he’s properly hydrated and comfortable.
Just remember, this isn’t a substitute for professional medical advice, especially with his current condition. Always, always, err on the side of caution and keep those lines with healthcare providers wide open.
