Doctors’ responses
For a 4-month-old baby experiencing occasional cough and cold, it's important to be cautious as their immune system is still developing. Since your baby is on milk, it's best to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding as these provide essential nutrients and boost immunity. In Ayurveda, certain remedies can be helpful for infants, but they should always be used with caution and under the guidance of a pediatrician or an Ayurvedic doctor. For mild cough and cold, a few drops of warm ghee (clarified butter) or breast milk can be massaged on the chest and back to soothe the baby’s respiratory system. You can also gently steam the room to relieve congestion and keep your baby hydrated. If your baby is still exclusively breastfeeding, ensure you are maintaining a balanced diet to enhance the quality of your milk. Avoid any direct herbs or spices in the milk until your baby is older. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying conditions.
