Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
For cough and cold it will take 5-7 days time to resolve.
I suggest you give her steam inhalation twice a day which decreases her nasal congestion and cough. Better give after instilling nasal drops. You can get steam box at your local pharmacy. Baby should feel warm while giving steam.
Instill nasal drops as many as times.
If cough persist then discuss about cough syrup like Ambroxol drops with your treating doctor.
Continue T minic drops as per doctor advice.
Maintain body hydration by giving exclusive breastfeeding.
If you have any queries I will be happy to help you.
Thank you.
