My 4 month baby keep coughing

Hi mum, I know it’s really worrying when baby is so young and keeps coughing, especially when the doctor says no medicine can be given. At this age, usually it’s more about supportive care like keeping baby well hydrated with milk, using saline drops and gentle suction if the nose is blocked, and keeping the air not too dry so baby can breathe more comfortably. If the cough gets worse, baby has fever, is struggling to breathe, or feeding drops a lot, then better to go back and get checked again or even A&E just to be safe. For such young babies, I always feel better to err on the cautious side.

Since she is only 4 months old, it might be worth going back to the PD or polyclinic if the coughing continues or gets worse, just to be safe. Sometimes they can check if there is anything else going on like reflux or a respiratory issue that needs a closer look. Keeping the room well-ventilated and making sure no one smokes near her can help a little while you monitor her at home.
