Why Is My Baby Coughing

Cold

The flu or cold is a very common health issue in babies because their immune system has not fully developed. In addition to a sore throat and runny nose, they can also have a dry cough. The level of intensity can depend on the underlying cause. To help alleviate the symptoms, make sure to let your babies have a lot of rest, and provide sufficient fluids. Try natural cough remedies like a cool-mist humidifier, saline drops, or honey. If the temperature of their body is high, it is better to visit a doctor to prevent further complications. [2]
